General Notes on the Use of Audiovisuals

1. No 3-D objects are permitted. Nothing may be passed to the judges.
2. Most students prepare either overhead transparencies or posters. Both are acceptable.
3. Judges are reminded in their briefing that schools vary considerably in the types of equipment that they have available to make transparencies. Content is more important than flashy color transparencies. Making the transparencies by hand is acceptable. The poster or transparency should not be too “busy”.
4. Students may use slides. The student is responsible for bringing the slide projector and setting it up. Students may use audio (tapes or CDs) when necessary. The student is responsible for bringing the tape/CD player and setting it up.
5. PJAS presentations are an educational activity. For this reason, presentation visuals (transparencies, posters, slides, etc.) must be clearly visible to all in the presentation room. Any audio must be audible to all in the presentation room.
6. Before using any specialized media, please review the pertinent section of the Short Course: PJAS Presentation and Scoring Rules, #4 – Presentation Specifics.
