Two to Tell Competition
Two to Tell is a speech competition in which competitors deliver a 2-minute presentation consisting of 6 slides, each timed to appear for 20 seconds. The main focus of the presentation is the impact of your international experience, including but not limited to study abroad, immigration, international studies, etc.
The goal is to share something impactful about your international experience. The mentioned impact can be, but is not limited to, personal, academic, professional, linguistic, or cultural impact. While this presentation aims to be an opportunity for you to reflect on your experiences, it also should serve as an informative opportunity for the audience to learn more.
The winners will receive state-wide recognition at a conference, an award certificate, and a cash scholarship.
Note: You may participate in both the Two to Tell competition and the photo contest, but the same photo may not be used in both.
