The crystal was formed in the shape of a four-sided pole, except for the top which was left in its more natural state. Upon the crystal is a notification in bright pink colors, big letters spelling out [i]STAR RAVING SPEECH COMPETITION[/i].

This is a writing competition, but you will be writing and "presenting" speeches. Below are our categories, with links to their specifications and prizes.

The theme this year is Fairy Tales, Legends, Myths, or Fables.[/color][/size][/columns] [columns][size=4][color=black][b][url=http://www1.flightrising.com/forums/qnc/2524915#post_35277324]Radio Broadcasting:[/url][/b] a speech for the purpose of sharing news and entertainment with listeners which is taken from current events within the Flight Rising community via a persona or personality/communication style that you develop and write. A commercial for a FR event, activity, forum, clan, or product (item) should be written into the speech to enhance its entertainment value.[/color][/size][nextcol][img]http://flightrising.com/images/cms/battle_items/522.png[/img][/columns] [columns][img]http://flightrising.com/images/cms/battle_items/675.png[/img][nextcol][size=4][color=black][b][url=http://www1.flightrising.com/forums/qnc/2524915#post_35277326]Expository:[/url][/b] a speech written by you which “explains” or exposes a topic, in this case magical power, which is our theme this year. First, since this is to resemble a platform speech, please have an appropriate introduction for your speaker. The dragon giving the introduction must provide the audience with the background of the main speaker. Second, your speech should focus on how your clan has developed, used, been taught, or has experienced magical power. You could use your speech as a tutorial for other clans to learn from, a motivational for them to try it, a warning not to, or simply a story describing it and/or your experience with magical power.[/color][/size][/columns] [center]All participants receive this badge!

For clarity, do we post the link to our entries to this thread?
@starlight18

@NICKname @Argante

Yes, that would be great. Please ping both Argante and I. Argante will put the entry into google docs (if it isn't already) for our judges to easily access. I will get the entry to tabulation. Thank you for entering and may the stars be ever in your favor!

As a speech and debate kid seeing this makes me so unreasonably excited! Hopefully I’ll have enough time within these next couple of weeks to write an entry.

@starlight18 @Argante

Another quick question, I know you wanted a picture of the dragon telling the story, but can I also use pictures of the dragons that appear in the story?

@NlCKname

Please just use the one dragon image. n.n
