Welcome Back to the 4th Annual Sparkle Season Spectacular hosted online by Upper St. Clair HS in Pittsburgh. This is a charity tournament and all entry fees not spent on NSDA Campus will be donated to a charity chosen by the tournament. The link to choose which charity we'll donate to is here: TBA

This year, we'll be offering ASYNC speech events only.

Entry videos are due by Tuesday, 12/17 @4pm.

Judging will be completed by Saturday 12/21 at Noon.

All events will use PHSSL Rules (www.phssl.org) except for Pro/Con challenge and Prepared Prompt speaking, which will use NSDA Rules. You may use any debate resolution, Congress bill/resolution/amendment, or extemp question you like for Pro/Con Challenge, but it must be in ONE VIDEO FILE.

Please ensure your contact person and judges are available via phone/email until they submit their ballots. We had a lot of issues last year getting into contact with people on Friday/Saturday.

Prepared prompt speaking can use any of the topics from this website: https://speechgeek.com/extemp/

A link to an awards video will be posted after all ballots are turned in. There will be no formal physical/digital awards.
