Event Description:

TV Commercials are for teams between 1 and 6 students. The use of Props/Costumes/Chairs/Desks/Music (etc.) is allowed and encouraged. Movement and/or blocking are also strongly encouraged. The art of a commercial lies in the student’s ability to say a lot about the product in a short amount of time. The product being presented must be an original idea of the team, not something taken from another source (such as spoofs from Saturday Night Live). Props, costumes, music, and anything else necessary to try to sell the product will be allowed, as long as it is in good taste. Catchy jingles or phrases are encouraged. Judging will be based on originality, persuasiveness, creativity with props and costumes, vocal/facial/body expression, and use of space by the whole team. The commercial, props, and costumes should be done in good taste and appropriate for a middle school environment.Students must provide both their own music and music playing device. Time limit is 5 minutes maximum.
