PROJECT MANAGEMENT

2015

PARTICIPANT INSTRUCTIONS

GUIDELINES FOR THE PRESENTATION | REFER TO THE EVALUATION FORM.

1. This event does allow the use of materials (i.e. sample brochures).

2. All materials must be prepared by the participants, with the exception of sample materials related to the

business.

3. The participant(s) may bring copies of the written project report to the presentation for their personal reference.

These do NOT have to be in official folios, will NOT be evaluated, and may NOT be shown to judges.

4. Self-contained, state-of-the-art technology (personal or laptop computers/hand-held digital organizers) may be

used. However, participants must use battery power even if electrical outlets are available in the room.

5. Visual aids (poster paper, flip charts) may be used.

6. All materials, equipment, supplies, etc. must be provided by the participants. DECA assumes no responsibility

for damage/loss of materials, equipment, supplies, etc.

7. Only materials that can be easily carried to and from the competition areas by the actual participants will be

permitted (includes computer equipment, visual aids, etc.). Only the participants may handle and set up their

materials. No outside assistance will be allowed.

8. Materials appropriate to the situation may be handed to or left with the judge. Items of monetary value may be

handed to but may not be left with judges. Items such as flyers, brochures, pamphlets and business cards may

be handed to or left with the judge. No food or drinks allowed.

9. Participants will have up to twenty (20) minutes to present their project plan and to answer questions from the

judges.

10. Space provided for this event may be limited to a 6’ x 8’ pipe-and-drape booth in an arena atmosphere (includes

judge’s table and chairs).

11. When using a presentation aid, such as a lap-top computer, the noise level must be kept at a conversational level

that does not interrupt other participants. If this guideline is not followed, the participant will be interrupted

and asked to follow the noise policy. Note: The noise level may be less of an issue when only one presentation is

taking place in a room at a time (often the case with this event).

12. Competitors are also responsible for following the information provided in the General Rules and Regulations for

competition found on pages 4 and 5.

Failure to follow guidelines may result in disqualification.
