BULLETIN BOARD
PURPOSE: This 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 a visual representation of the current year’s LTC theme.
PROCESS:
Each participating church will:
1. Register each bulletin board. In each grade category, one bulletin board for every six students is permissible. (For instance: If you have eighteen 3-6th grade students registered for the convention, then you may submit three 3-6th grade bulletin boards. Students may still move up a grade level BUT MAY NOT PARTICIPATE IN MORE THAN ONE BULLETIN BOARD.)
2. Submit the bulletin board to the Event Director between 4:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. Friday.
3. Send in the name of one possible judge to be used as needed for the bulletin board event.
4. Submit completed Team Form to the Event Director with the bulletin board.
5. Pick up the board between 3:00-5:00 p.m. on Saturday.
The Event Director will:
1. Receive and log each bulletin board.
2. Make sure all submissions are displayed for judging and viewing.
3. Supply completed Team Judging Forms to the Convention Events Coordinator.
