Awards
Event Awards
We will have an awards ceremony Saturday evening.
In most individual events and Congressional Debate, entries finishing first, second, or third will receive a trophy. Remaining finalists will receive medals. In duet events, both partners will receive these awards.
In group events (readers theatre and lip sync), all finalists will receive medals in lieu of trophies. This allows us to present an award to every student whose group reaches the final round.
