Committee Review | |
| Initial Advisor Comments | The adjudicator did specifically address the criteria that states “if used, how did visual(s) aid in understanding the speech, or were they unnecessary for that purpose, or distracting?” The adjudicator felt that the visual aid was not necessary and therefore deducted one point. |
| Resolution: | Denied |
| Disposition | This was addressed at the festival; following post-festival additional reflection, the adjudicator is within their right to critique usage of visual supporting materials as being relevant to the speech. The challenge to the student is actively use visual aids to illustrate and explain. |
