Outline Guidelines
For Original pieces (i.e. speeches and stories), one (1) typed copy of the outline must be submitted. For non-original pieces, or for more information about requirements, please refer to Entries.
“Public speaking skills
are an essential key to achieving career advancement and success.”
— Robert Moment
Entrants should not underestimate the contribution of proper grammar and punctuation, and cogent content flow and/or narrative arc, to the overall adjudication.
Speech
Magnum Opus upholds the use of Standard Outline Form, but does not require it, as long as the outline includes, in some reasonable approximation, these main areas.
