HOW TO CARRY OUT THE COMPETITION IN YOUR LOCAL CHAPTER
The competition can be held during a normal chapter meeting or as part of a course or weekend activities. Some chapters choose to make a training before the actual competition. You can get a visit from a JCI trainer who can teach you presentation techniques. Or you can get a visit from a former participant of the national competition and hear about their experiences.
For the competition you need judges. Judges may be the other members of your chapter, but we recommend that you use trained judges (which you can find by checking www.jci.dk/dgm/ or contact JCI Slagelse), or you can ask members from another chapter if they will judge your local competition.
Judges scoring sheets can be found on www.jci.dk/dgm/ and must be used for the competition. At our website you can also find more about the rules and judging criteria.
You do not need to set up an entire competition in your chapter. Even if just one member wants to participate in the competition, you can sign up and then this member will be your
representative in the region finals. All participants can choose to hold their speech in English or Danish.
