Overview

General
Guidelines

All presentations for these awards must be sent in advance as pre-recorded presentations. This will ensure there are no technical hiccups. Participants must attend their scheduled presentation session to answer the judges questions.

General good practices in designing a presentation are:

• Practice your presentation to ensure it lasts no longer than the specified time.
• Include photographs or videos in your presentation. Pictures are worth a thousand words.
• During your presentation, talk clearly and smoothly. Clarity is of the essence. Presenters with English as their mother tongue and a fast mode of speaking should think of other people in the audience whose mother tongue may not be English since this is an international event.
• Rehearse well even if you are an experienced presenter. Your audience is sophisticated, thus, reading from slides during a presentation is deemed unprofessional.
• More than one person can deliver the presentation but in this case it is even more important to practice the presentation to ensure it does not exceed the specified time limit.

The organizers are available to provide advice and comment on your presentation slides if sent 10 days or more prior to the presentation date. This will assist all entrants to deliver a strong presentation. Send your presentations for checking to competition@coer.org.nz  

The judges’ decision is final.

The Entry Fee must be paid prior to a presentation in any of the competitions.

Rules for
Pre-Recorded
Presentations

Send your final pre-recorded presentation to competition@coer.org.nz  using https://wetransfer.com or a google share folder at least 5 days before the scheduled presentation date for review to ensure compliance with the presentation guidelines. All pre-recorded files should be in MP4 format. The chairman of the session will play your pre-recorded presentation at the event.

For pre-recorded presentations it is recommended that your  presentation  shows  your  slides and includes a small image of the presenter to give a human touch to the presentation. For pre-recorded presentations it is recommended that your presentation shows your slides and includes a small image of the presenter to give a human touch to the presentation. Most on-line meeting software such as Zoom/Teams offers this capability, or you can record yourself using PPT which offers greater flexibility. Click here to view a good example.

Embed any videos in your pre-recorded presentation.

Pre-recorded presentations have a time limit as specified in the ” Overview” table above. If your presentation runs over the specified time we will allow an additional 15 seconds and then stop the presentation.

Whilst your presentation is pre-recorded you need to attend the session to answer the judges’ questions. Failure to turn- up at your allocated Q&A timeslot is likely to adversely affect your best practice star rating.
