PURPOSE: The Bulletin Board 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 group will:

• Register each bulletin board. In each grade category, one bulletin board for every six participants is permissible. (For instance: If you have eighteen 3-5th grade participants registered for the convention, then you may submit three 3-5th grade bulletin boards. Participants may still move up a grade level BUT MAY NOT PARTICIPATE IN MORE THAN ONE BULLETIN BOARD.)
• Submit the bulletin board to the Event Director between 2:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. Friday.
• Send in name of one judge per bulletin board.
• Submit completed Team Form to Event Director with bulletin board.
• Pick up board after the closing ceremony on Saturday.

The Event Director will:

• Receive and log each bulletin board.
• Organize boards for judging.
• Display after judging.
• Supply completed Team and Judging Forms to Awards Committee.

RULES:

1. Size: The display should be no larger than three feet by four feet. Nothing may extend beyond this area. Smaller sizes are permissible. Poster boards are not allowed. The board will be measured.
2. Display: The display must be self supporting, i.e., supported or braced in some way so it can be viewed. Each entry must furnish its own easel or any other item needed for the display. Displays must be portable.
3. Grade Categories: No more than six participants can work on a single bulletin board nor can participants participate in more than one Bulletin Board each. Bulletin Boards are graded according to the grade level of the oldest participant.

   Note: Each grade level should display age/grade appropriate quality of workmanship.

4. Identification: Attach to the back of each bulletin board two 3X5 index card, each containing the following information:

   LTC-SW Team Number
   Name of the congregation
   Grade category
   Name, LTC-SW Identification Number, and Grade of each participant

   The 2nd 3x5 card will be placed on the front of the entry after judging to identify the participants to the admirers.

5. Materials: Bulletin boards may not contain any materials that require the use of electricity or battery power. Other materials are not restricted with the understanding that all displays must be in good taste.
6. Penalty points will be assessed for failure to adhere to size, identification, display method, and material restrictions.
7. SPECIAL NOTE: Bulletin boards may be presented in a foreign language as long as a translation in English is provided on a 3 x 5 index card which can be attached to the stand.

JUDGING:

There will be three Judges. An award rating will be assigned to each team based on the point average among the three Judges.

AWARDS:

1. One of the following award ratings will be assigned to each team based upon the overall point total of the three Judges' sheets.

   Gold = 95-100 points, Silver = 85-94 points; Bronze = 70-84 points; No Award = 0-69 points

2. An appropriately colored engraved plate for the individual's Award Plaque will be given to each team member receiving a Gold, Silver, or Bronze Rating.
