Purpose of Competition

1. To bring Apostolic Church-schools together for fellowship and topromote academic, social and spiritual qualities.

2. The Christian school movement has grown greatly. The Apostolic music program, as well as other competitive events, are unlike any other competition programs.

3. For the past many years, Christian Education has grown at an unbelievable rate. Barriers have been broken because of this educational approach. The sharing of ideas and assistance has generated co-operation among many people which will continually build and develop our Christian school program. Utilizing this same concept, we have the greatest opportunity of pulling down walls, crossing bridges, and building a revival atmosphere with rallies, fellowships, and competitions. Let us make each year a rewarding experience of competition and fellowship with old and new friends.

Awards

First, second and third place winners will be recognized in each event category. Winners will generally be recognized during morning devotions the day after competitive event has been judged.

An Outstanding Student Award will be given to the top ten students in the entire competition. The award will be based on individual points earned. Points will be: 5 for gold, 3 for silver, and 1 for bronze.

Quantity of awards given for an event will be listed on that event’s rule page. The general rule will be 1 gold, 1 silver and 1 bronze for each category. The exception will be team events. The number of medals given on team events will be limited to number of entrants allowed in a particular category.

HINTS FROM PAST JUDGES

In oral arguments, the contestant simulates a lawyer’s summary of his side’s viewpoint at the conclusion of a case. For that reason, the actual content and logic of your presentation are more important than your delivery. Poor delivery can detract severely from a good outline. Your content should be based on scriptural opinion or emotional appeal. In making your delivery, speak deliberately and persuasively without being antagonistic. At the same time, you should also try to use variety in movement, gesture, and voice inflection. Persuade—do not preach.

BIBLE QUIZZING

Bible quizzing is a team effort. A team may consist of five to seven members, but only three may perform at a time. Three team members meet at the quiz table, each having access to a buzzer.

All questions will be 10 points each. Questions will be numbered 1-25, and each judge will have a set of questions with which to follow along as the quiz master reads the questions.

There will be no conferring with one another, except whether or not to challenge and ten seconds to prepare an answer to a challenge.

The player who hits the buzzer first within five (5) seconds of completion of question and causes the light to come on will be recognized and allowed to answer the question. A player will have five (5) seconds to start his answer after being recognized and thirty (30) seconds to complete his answer. A player does not have to wait for the completion of the question to ring in but may interrupt the reading of the question and be recognized to answer the question. If the question is answered correctly, his team will be awarded the appropriate points.

12

If the question is answered incorrectly, the opposite team may challenge the answer. If the first team’s answer is found to be wrong, the quiz master will repeat the question for the challenging team. If the challenging team answers correctly, they will be awarded the 10 points. If the challenging team answers incorrectly, neither team will gain any points for that question.

If the buzzer sounds before the question is completed, the team who rings in first does not need to complete the question, they only need to give an answer. If they answer incorrectly, the question will be repeated in its entirety for the opposing team.

After 25 questions have been asked, the team with the most points is the winner. Twenty-five questions asked will end the contest. If neither team has any points after 25 questions, both teams will be disqualified. In the event of a tie at the end of 25 questions, the contest will be decided by sudden death with one final question. If a team reaches 100 points before the 25 questions have been asked, that team wins the contest.

Quotation questions must be answered word-for-word without any paraphrasing.

No subs are allowed until the question has been answered.All challenges must be made at the time of the question.25 Questions the team with the most points winsNo talking between coaches and players during the game. ”Except during a time out”

A team may have three (3) time-outs during a game. These time-outs can be to pray, substitute or be coached. A time-out can only last one minute.

The official’s word is final. Officials will be:1 Timekeeper1 Quiz Master2 Judges2 Scorekeepers

wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.

SHORT STORY

A contestant in this category shall write a fiction/truthful narrative with Christian, social or patriotic theme. Only one short story per contestant is allowed. The short story shall be not less than 500 words and not more than 1,000 words.

Short story entry must be typed double-spaced in an easily read style of not less than a 14-point font. No script fonts permitted.

One copy should be presented in a clear plastic binder and the remaining two copies should be stapled.

HINTS FOR WRITING A SHORT STORY

Have the story and its conclusion fully in mind before beginning writing. Decide what will be the basic conflict. Decide from whose point of view the story will be told.

Where will the story begin? Will some or all of it be told in retrospect? Do you want to plunge right in, or would you rather build up from an introduction?

How will you handle your story? Will a first person narrator simply tell the situation, or will someone else be telling the story?

Remember that your short story should contain situation, complications, climax, and conclusion. Be sure to dramatize important incidents, not simply narrate them.

Try to foreshadow what is to come. Leave hints which will perhaps take on meaning later. This is particularly important if you decide to try a surprise ending.

At least one or two characters should be developed fully. The reader should be able to know the character by the end of the story.

17

Plan how you will identify time and/or place. This is your setting. Are you trying to create a mood or atmosphere? If the setting is a major role in the action, be sure it is adequately described.

Points to check before submitting your story:Does your story say what you want it to say?Have you used specific detail throughout?Is the dialogue realistic?Does the plot hold a readers interest throughout?Do at least some of the characters seem like real people?

CRITERIA

Structure

Navigation of Site – The site should be easy to use and navigate. User should know where he is and have the ability to get to another location in the site with ease.

Creativity – The site will be evaluated for creativity in the areas of uniqueness, content, approach to the material and method of engagement.

“Logical” Connection – The site must be logical and make sense to specific users. What may be logical to one user may leave another totally lost. For example: A site developed for teens would be very different from one for retirees, just as one for travel is very different from one on finance.

Engaging – The site should be attractive, pleasing, interesting, and beneficial. The time an average user will give is a matter of seconds unless it engages the viewer visually and mentally.

Elements (Variety and Appropriateness) – The site should contain enough variety to hold interest while maintaining an overall consistency which reflects the purpose and desired image of the site. It should conform to the Biblical values and overall competition guidelines regarding appropriateness of subject matter, substance, graphics, etc.

Browser Friendly – The site should be fully functional on multiple browsers and viewable on as many computers as possible. Several browsers are in wide use; however, the older the browser that can access your site, the less robust the elements and the more limited the creativity.

Graphic Design – The site should follow generally accepted Internet standards regarding presentation. Some of these regard font styles, spacing, overlay, and other aspects of the presentation. (There are helpful sites on the Web to learn about these items.)

CONTENT

49

Clear – For the site to be effective, the content must be clear in its presentation, navigation, functionality and purpose.

Appropriate – The content of the site should meet competition guidelines and standards and be appropriate for its intended purpose.

Accomplishes Goals – The user should be able to understand and receive benefit from the purpose of the site as intended by the developer. If this doesn’t happen, the user will probably leave quickly, and information will not be imparted, and ideas will not be communicated.

HINTS FROM THE JUDGESSize is not part of the judging criteria! More is not necessarily better. It is important that a site distinguish itself through quality and value to the user as compared to other sites competing for the same audience. The point values in judging are weighted in favor of the structural organization because that is essential to site functionality and usefulness. Poor content is changeable, but poor design is the death of a site.
