MANDATORY ELECTRONIC SCRIPT SUBMISSION
Script submission helps to ensure adherence to the speech event rules throughout the season and serves to honor God through integrity. Additionally, this benefits you, the competitor, should you be invited to NITOC, as these are the exact same procedures that will be required.

Scripts not in compliance by this date will be dropped from the event with no refund, so be sure to submit your script early to allow time to make any changes! Drop fees apply. A $20 drop fee will apply to any dropped events after the close of registration.
Please submit your script and script submission form by Sunday, April 7th at 11:59 pm. You will receive a confirmation when your script is officially accepted. A $20 late script fee will be accessed for any scripts submitted after the deadline.
