What are the rules regarding usage of music, media or props in a speech?
Music, PowerPoint presentations and props are allowed during speech contests. A contestant should inform the contest chair if he/she plans on using a prop during the contestants briefing. It’s the contestant’s sole responsibility to arrange for and handle any props or technical gear used in a speech. They may have an assistant help them set up and take down props. The stage must be cleared for the next contestant. Note: that World Headquarters does recommend against the use of both, as they have a tendency of eliciting negative responses from judges.
