Re: Interview room & judging panel (rookie questions)
Since manner in which your Chairman's Award entry was submitted this year was plain text and the judges will have read this prior to your actual presentation, it would certainly be an excellent idea for your presentation to the judges, though not a necessity, to produce a more visually appealing handout of your entry. You may or may not want to transfer your submission from essay format to more brief, strong statements and bulleted information, as well as lots of pictures, and give the judges this along with any other documents your team produces, such as newsletters, business plans, yearbooks (not referring to the TIMS System - our team produces a largely expanded version of the our Chairman's Award/HoF entry in a large binder), brochures, posters, etc. All such things can have a great impact on the judges impressions of your team and considering majority of the population learns and comprehends most information more easily on a visual level, will allow for a differentiated and effective manner of presenting your information to the judges besides just straight text and verbal explanations.
