Overall Event Package Presentation

view longer description

100 pts

Full Marks

Presentation draws in the recipient, making it stand out from other proposals that may have been received. The presentation is appropriate to the objectives of the program, utilizing the style of construction, color, and tone of the program. There are no incorrect designs if the above are appropriately reflected, and creativity/ experimentation is highly valued.

100 pts

No Marks

Presentation shows little or no imagination, reads as an academic paper, fails to capture the intended audience, or is done in an inconsistent or sloppy manner. The package should hold together as a whole, meaning all must be contained within one submission (with the notable exception of the cover letter which may be submitted separately if you choose, as it may be an accompaniment to a proposal in the submission of such proposals)

Program Concept

view longer description

100 pts

Full Marks

The program clearly addresses its objectives and would have a reasonable chance of meeting those objectives. Elements of the program have been selected for a purpose, not just added as fluff.

0 pts

No Marks

The program's objectives or method of succeeding are unclear; items have been included for no obvious reason, or perhaps other items or services have been overlooked, weakening the basis for the program.
