This event is only held at the Middle Level. Oratorical Declamation involves a student delivering a non-original oration written by another person. The speech must have been presented as a public address and published in print. Original oratory speeches used in forensics competition are not allowed. The original speaker’s words may not be altered for this presentation with the exception that cutting is permitted.

This is the ballot for Broadcast. The purpose of this event is to familiarize the student with the important medium of broadcasting and to test the ability of the participant to read with authority, intelligence, and audience appeal while understanding the necessity of visual communication with the audience.

This is the ballot for Dramatic Interpretation. Dramatic interpretation is the presentation of a single serious or humorous selection from a play written for either the stage or the electronic media.  Adaptations of works from other genres (adaptations of poems, novels, or short stories) that are written for performance on the stage or in an electronic medium (radio, film, television) are permitted.  In dramatic interpretation, a character developed in depth in a monologue is equally acceptable to a multiple character performance.
