Is the essay theme emphasized in the presentation and questions?
A suggested list of questions is given to the judges of which they are required to ask at least 2 of during the brief Q&A after the verbal presentation. Though the essay theme is important, it is one of many questions that could be asked by the judges and is a great focus for developing the city’s concept. Q – What guidelines are the judges given for questions during the presentations? The sample list of questions given to the judges is the same as used at nationals. It is included in the Teacher/Mentor Handbook. Q – How many teams can a school bring to the Idaho Regional Competition? Each school will be permitted to send three teams to the Idaho Regional Competition. The way that the competition will work is that all of the teams will give their presentations to groups of judges in the morning on January 14th. The top five schools will then be asked to give their presentation before the entire audience and another panel of judges to determine the winner and top finishers in the region
