Script Submission Definitions

Arranged alphabetically

Computerized Presentation

Digital media presented on a computerized device with a display of at least 8 inches.

Copyright Page

A photocopy of the copyright page of the original source material used for the presentation. The copyright page of each literary source must be included. Sources from the Internet can be used if copyright information can be printed (minimum: (c), date and author) If not, a physical copy of the literature must be located and used.

Digital Media

Graphics, audio or video resources used to enhance or illustrate a presentation. This does NOT include text-based resources that are used for researching the topic.

Digital Media Cited Page 

A page or slide listing all the graphics, video and/or audio resources used in a presentation. This includes photographs, video and audio recordings. Sources are listed alphabetically, using a standard citation format. The URLs alone are not acceptable as a means of citing a source.

Graphics Attributed

An attribution is a way of crediting the creator/photographer/owner of a selected graphic or image. It contains the title of the piece and the name of the creator/photographer/owner and is located on or near each graphic or image.

Percentage of Quoted Words    

The total number of quoted words, divided by the total number of words in a presentation, and then multiplied by 100 will give the percentage. 

(Example: If the presentation has 122 quoted words out of 2436 total words, divide 122 by 2436 and multiply the answer by 100 to get the percentage: 5%).

Scanned Source Material   

A photocopy of the original literature used for an interpretation. Only the pages the presenter is actually quoting from need to be copied. These copies can be made in black and white.
