Guidelines
Students will present their work orally before a jury and an audience. Students will compete by discipline category and class standing (undergraduate/graduate), as described in "Who May Apply." Each student will have ten minutes for an oral presentation of his or her work and three minutes to listen and respond to juror and audience questions. All entrants may use audio-visual material as appropriate, and presenters are encouraged to use delivery techniques that promote interaction with the audience. Entrants in Creative Arts and Design Category may present an audio and/or visual record of a performance they have given or a work they have created; their oral presentation should focus on the rationale and historical context underlying their interpretation of the material.

Each entry (oral presentation and written summary) will be judged on the following:

• clarity of purpose - 15%
• appropriateness of methodology - 15%
• interpretation of results - 15%
• value of the research or creative activity - 15%
• ability of the presenter to articulate the research or creative activity - 15%
• organization of the material presented - 15%
• presenter's ability to handle questions from the jury and general audience - 10%
