A Detailed Overview
What
In the presentation round, participants will create and present an oral presentation about their chosen subject. This presentation must be 5 to 7 minutes long and based on this year's prompt "At the Table". Presentation topics can be loosly related to the prompt as long as the participant explains how they are related. Participants are allowed to make and bring the following materials to help them present:
- Index cards with bullet points
- A visual presentation (PowerPoint, Canva, Google Slides…)
- Instructions will be given on how to upload it
Examples
Participants are encouraged to make their topic unique and creative. Last year our prompt was "In the Club...". Feel free to look at the presentations from last year's participants below. Please remember that some of these participants did not explain the relation between the prompt and their topic on their visual presentation, but instead did so with their words.
Where
The online presentation round takes place online. Organisers will create a schedule taking into mind each participant's time zone.
When
The in-person presentation round will take place on a weekend in March, specific dates TBA.
Who
The five best participants with the highest scores in the pilot round from each school will participate in the presentation round.
All presentations are marked by subject-specific professionals. There are specific professionals for specific subjects, meaning that, as an example, the same professional who marks the biology presentations will not mark the chemistry presentations.
Cost
Participating in the online presentation round of the International Douglas-Young Tournament is free for all schools and participants.
