Preparing Materials for Submission

Below is information you may find important as you prepare the project to be submitted for virtual evaluation.
  • Make sure to look at the event guidelines for virtual competition specifications. This includes the number of pictures allowed and what items may need to be photographed.
  • After all competition elements (portfolios, displays, visuals, etc) are completed, you will need to create a PDF document that contains any hardcopy information as well as any required pictures.
  • You are only allowed to submit ONE PDF file with competition components.
    • I recommend that you title the document similar to this:
      "Event Name & Level, School Name, Participant Names" Last names or first names only is fine. It will just help evaluators confirm that they are viewing the right materials.
    • To create a PDF you may need to use Microsoft Word or Microsoft PowerPoint. Create a document and paste your pictures onto the page or slide. Then click File>Save As. Find the location you want to save to. After you name the document use the drop down menu titled "Save as type" below to select PDF.
    • If you have scanned documents or a hardcopy portfolio and it automatically created it as a PDF you can "export" that into Word or PowerPoint. Go to File>Export To then select either Word or PowerPoint.
    • There are also some free online programs that will allow you to combine multiple PDF documents into one if you do not have that option within Adobe and are unable to get one of the other options to work.
  • You will then need to record the oral presentation.
    • You should record the oral presentation as if you were presenting to a live evaluation team. Voice over a PowerPoint is NOT allowed.
    • You should use any materials you have created in this oral presentation as normal.
    • Remember that you must answer the two questions listed in the event specifications for virtual competition in order to get the points for response to evaluators questions on the rubric.
  • Once you have recorded the oral presentation you will need to upload to YouTube or a similar site. You may make it public or you can use the unlisted option. With an unlisted video, they are viewable only by people with the link. 
    • Here is a short video on how to create an unlisted video in YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JOr7JluzEOM
    • I recommend that you title the video similar to this:
      "Event Name & Level, School Name, Participant Names" Last names or first names only is fine. It will just help evaluators confirm that they are viewing the right video.
Please review all of these documents in regards to STAR Event participants at the State Leadership Conference. Detailed information will be provided at a later date

STAR Events Participant Fee: $20 (not included in conference registration)
