✎ Please indicate any student-authored writings so we can give them special recognition.
✎ ALL material MUST BE APPROPRIATE for our audiences. Drama is FINE, but with K-8 students involved, ALL recitations MUST BE in GOOD and PROPER TASTE.
✎ NO questionable, crude or inappropriate words or phrases - all bathroom language is unacceptable for our event.
✎ Because of judging logistics, poetry is to be recited in English only.
✎ NO costumes or props allowed! This is a time for focus on ORAL INTERPRETATION so no distractions, please ^_^.
✎ PLEASE strictly adhere to the five-minute maximum rule - no exceptions! If material is longer, edit and condense.
✎ For this event, recitations should be spoken and not sung (like a song).
