Those chosen to move forward to the state competition will need to submit electronic versions. Competition Guidelines: Students will present their work orally before a jury. Students will compete by class standing (undergraduate/graduate), as described in the “Who May Apply”. Each student will have ten minutes for an oral presentation of his or her work and then three minutes to listen and respond to juror questions. All entrants may use audiovisual material as appropriate, and presenters are encouraged to use delivery techniques that promote interaction with the audience. Entrants in the 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%) Ability of the presenter to articulate the research and creative activity (15%) Organization of the material presented (15%) Presenter’s ability to handle questions from the jury (10%) Presentation: Be aware that you will be speaking to jury of faculty from each of the five colleges on campus and to a general audience at the state competition. For this reason, you will have to briefly define terms, rather than starting with a kind of mini-dictionary. Give a brief, non-technical statement of the background and nature of the problem and then your piece of it; how your study relates to the general issue. State the objectives of your research in clear, simple language. You should state the context, goals, what you did and your results. Be analytical, not just descriptive. Tell your audience what this research or problem means, its implications and significance. Clearly organize your results and then explain the implications of your results. Award: For the campus competition based on the recommendations of the juries, a prize will be provided to the outstanding presenter in both undergraduate and graduate divisions. At the state competition cash awards will be provided to the outstanding presenter and the runner-up in both the undergraduate and graduate divisions of each category. If a category has been combined because there are fewer than three presenters in one division, awards will be provided to the outstanding presenter and the runner-up without regard to class standing. In any division with just three entrants, only one award will be given. In divisions with more than ten entrants, two runner-up awards will be presented. Due Date: All applications are due Friday, January 30th, 2015 by 5:00pm, in the Office of Graduate Studies, CH-123, (909) 537-5058. Questions should be directed to the same office.
