Minimum script requirements:
- Scripts must reflect all words recited in the speech.
- Scripts are also required to include sources for any supporting material in the speech as a verbal mention and on a Works Cited page.
- Note: Digital presentations must also have a Works Cited slide for any supporting material used in the slide presentation.
As a best practice, include notations and forms that easily show how the speech complies with the event rules.
- Use professional font and spacing, e.g. black, size 11 font.
- Â Italicize any characterized words, including singing.
- Use bold font and quotations marks for any directly quoted supporting material. If characterized, also italicize those words.
- Underline any verbal mention of sources for supporting material, whether directly quoted or summarized.
- Parenthetically cite any supporting material.
- Include a Works Cited page for any supporting material (required). Suggested Works Cited page formats may be found on library or university websites.
