German Day
Declamation Contests I - IV, Rules and information:
The Declamation Contest consists of four divisions:
- Division I (first-year students)
- Division II (second-year students)
- Division III (third-year students and above)
- Division IV (third-year students and above, one student per school)
Students should memorize one poem of their choice in their category. Only one student per school may participate in Division IV. This student will recite a poem from memory in Graham Chapel. All students in Division IV will receive a prize. The poems for Division III and IV are identical so that students not chosen to represent their school in Division IV may participate in Division III. Participation in Divisions I, II, and III is limited to three students per school in each division (i.e., a maximum of 9 students per school). First, second, and third prizes will be awarded in each division. Students with native or near-native speaking ability should—according to AATG guidelines—participate in activities other than the declamation contests or spelling bees.
