CONTEST RULES




AWARDS



Individual Awards


Awards for Individual Effort Contests

The top ten places in each division of each individual-effort contest will be awarded a ribbon. If the judges, however, consider fewer than ten entries to be of sufficient quality, fewer than ten awards will be given. If fewer than ten projects are entered in a contest, every project will not automatically receive an award. For Certamen: the top four individual scorers on each level will receive ribbons. Individual Certamen winners will not earn sweepstakes points toward the individual or overall sweepstakes.




Awards for Individual Performance in a Category

  • Dramatic Interpretation
  • English Oratory

For each of these areas, a committee of judges will select an outstanding entry, regardless of place, to receive a Best of Show rosette.




Overall - Individual

The top 15 individuals will receive awards: 1st through 3rd place winners will receive trophies; 4th through 10th place winners will receive rosettes; 11th through 15th place winners will receive certificates. An overall score is reached by adding the number of sweepstakes points earned by the individual in all individual-effort contests.




Club Awards

The top eight entries in each division (large or small club) of each club-effort contest will receive an award: the 1st through 3rd place teams will receive a trophy; the 4th through 8th place teams will receive ribbons. If the judges, however, consider fewer than eight entries to be of sufficient quality, fewer than eight awards will be given. If fewer than eight projects are entered in a contest, every project will not automatically receive an award.
For Certamen: in addition to the club contest awards, the members of the top eight teams on each level will receive ribbons.
