Junior contestants are middle school students or younger. Younger students will receive extra bonus points onto their scores. Multimedia submissions need not be memorized, however, the candidates who are pretending to have memorized their speech cannot win the first prizes (Grand Prize for Multimedia or Junior Grand Prize for Multimedia), even though they got high enough scores to win. They could win the 2nd prizes and the prizes for Writing of course.

Judges: Megan, Lowrie, Lindsey, Joshua, John, Dawn

We have six judges from our school. The minimum and maximum scores from each judge will be discarded. We will add all remaining scores to select the winner. Students should first post their entries onto their teacher’s board. The teacher will help them with editing.

The teacher will then post the final submission onto the board from December 1st: http://aloud.kr/xe/wf

English Aloud has the right to post all content from the contest on our website.
