Purpose

The Bulletin Board event is intended to help young people develop the ability to use creative ideas and techniques to communicate a thought or theme. Adult assistance should be limited to that of advice and supervision. The bulletin board should make a clear point and develop the visual representation of the current year's LTC theme.

Process

Each participating group will:

  • Register each bulletin board. In each grade category, one bulletin board for every six students is permissible. (For instance: If you have eighteen 3-5th grade students registered for the convention, then you may submit three 3-5th grade bulletin boards. Students may still move up a grade level BUT MAY NOT PARTICIPATE IN MORE THAN ONE BULLETIN BOARD.).
  • Submit the bulletin board to the Event Coordinator between 12:00p.m. and 3:00p.m., on Friday, April 2, 2010.
  • Provide 3 judging sheets filled out for each bulletin board entered.
  • Send in the name of one judge for each grade category entered.
  • Submit completed Team Form with registration packet. (They will be ready at the convention in the check-in room).
  • Pick up board by 11:00 a.m., Sunday, April 4, 2010.

The Event Coordinator will:

  • Receive and log each bulletin board.
  • Assign ID for multiple bulletin boards for each age group (example, A & B).
  • Organize boards for judging.
  • Display after judging.
  • Compile judging forms and assign an award category.
  • Deliver completed Team and Judging Forms to the Tally Room.

Rules

  • Size: The display should be no larger than three feet by four feet. Nothing may extend beyond this area. Smaller sizes are permissible. Poster boards are not allowed. The board will be measured.
  • Display: The display must be self-supporting, i.e., supported or braced in some way so it can be viewed. Each entry must furnish its own easel or any other item needed for the display. Displays must be portable.
  • Grade Categories: One bulletin board per six participants in each grade category per church may be entered. PARTICIPANTS CAN ONLY BE A MEMBER ON ONE TEAM. The following grade categories are available:
    Grades 3-5, Grades 6-8, Grades 9-12
  • Teams: This is a team event. A team for this event consists of 2-6 participants. Should an individual submit an entry, they will receive the event plate they have earned. Team plaques will be awarded to teams.
  • Identification. A 3x5 index card containing the team number and grade category must be attached to bottom right corner on the front of the bulletin board. This card is to be completed and attached to the bulletin board prior to the convention. The team number will be given to you by the registrar.
  • Materials: Bulletin boards may not contain any materials that require the use of electricity or battery power. Other materials are not restricted with the understanding that all displays must be in good taste.
  • Penalties may be assessed for failure to adhere to size, identification, display method, and material restrictions.
  • SPECIAL NOTE: Bulletin boards may be presented in a foreign language as long as a translation in English is provided on a 3x5 index card that can be attached to the stand.
