Event Description:

Original Literature:A performance of an original piece of writing in any literary style: prose, children’s literature, free verse/poetry, dramatic performance or duo delivered from text, notes or from memory by one or two students. The rules of the event that the writing falls under will govern the delivery (Ex. eye and physical contact limitation rules apply if the presentation is a duo). The material may be humorous or serious in nature, and both the writing and the delivery will be evaluated. The authorship may be collaborative but must be only student written and totally original. The introduction need only provide the title(s) and (optional) set the scene.

Time limit:7 minutes with a 30-second grace period.
Judges should offer to provide visual time signals.
Students who speak beyond the time limit plus the grace period may not be ranked 1st.
