	A demonstration speech explains how to do something or how something works. Objects or physical activity by the demonstrator must be exhibited. Visual aids ( charts, graphs, diagrams, maps, pictures, etc.) are optional and may be used to enhance the demonstration but are not to take the place of objects or activity. The speech must be instructive and present valuable and significant information. Rules: 1) The speech must be original with the participant. 2) Objects or physical activity by the demonstrator must be exhibited. 3) Presentations will take place in normal-sized classrooms with normal-sized doors. A table or desk will be supplied. All visual aids, properties and equipment are to be supplied by the speaker. 4) This category prohibits the use of properties or equipment endangering the health or safety of the participant, audience, or judge. This includes, but not limited to, firearms, sharp knives, dangerous chemicals and animals. 5) One other person, and only one, may be used to assist the demonstrator by serving as the object of demonstration or by helping to set up, strike, or handle equipment. It is permissible for the aide to be both an object of demonstration and to help with the equipment. The aide must fulfill WHSFA eligibility requirements but will not be considered a contestant; registration fees will not be assessed on this person, nor will he/she be eligible for an award. The assistant may be a contestant in another category, but festival managers are not responsible for special scheduling arrangements that this may require. 6) Maximum time limit is 10 minuets, including set up and strike down. A 30 second grace period is allowed. 7)The use of both sides of one 4x6 note card is optional. Need some tips?
