NI Central England branch YGN speaking competition finals

摘要

Five candidates were selected for the NI Central England branch regional final of the NI YGN speaking competition. The key theme of the event was to demonstrate communication skills before a live audience, with emphasis on presentation rather than overall content. Marks were awarded for: synopsis, oral presentation, clarity and use of visual aids and ability to explain to a nontechnical audience. The judges decided that oral presentation and clarity were the most important in the context of the key theme, and weighted the marking accordingly (5, 10, 10, 5), giving a maximum possible score of 30. The target presentation time was 10 minutes.
