Architectural Design Competition: |
For the architectural design competition, the guidelines say to include the mentorship verification form in the pdf files. However, the mentorship verification form require students' names to be included, and the guidelines specifically say NOT to have students' names anywhere on the project. That presents a contradiction and a potential for a judge to affect an entry based on the guideline against using a kid's or school's name in the entry. I contacted the National Event Manager who wrote the contest rules and his response was to use student's initials in place of their name on that form. S.P. |
Prepared Presentation Competition: |
As we did last year, I will not wait until the first day of the state conference to give the topic of the Prepared Presentation Event to the registered students. The topic will be emailed to all registered HS Advisors the week following the close of Conference Registration. Steve |
