Keep it short

Your presentation should not be longer than five minutes.

Have a structure

If you want to get your point across you need to structure your presentation properly. Try thinking about what you want to say and ordering your text into these categories: introduction, presenting your idea, selling your idea.

You are the presenter

Keep the presentation lively and engage your audience. You don’t have to use any props, but try to keep your tone of voice exciting and fun. Have a look at your favourite presenters on television. Why do you like them? What makes their presentation style good to watch?

Your props

If you use any props, they should have a purpose. Only use them to illustrate a point. Props could include PowerPoint, images, models, graphics, music – anything really. Be as creative as you like.

Don’t hide behind the PowerPoint

If you use PowerPoint, don’t forget it’s only a prop. We want to see your face, not just slides. You are the presenter.

Sell it to them

Sell your idea. Tell the audience why they need your product or idea. Find one strong argument to convince them then sell sell sell!

Make yourself heard

It’s really important that the sound on your video is clear. You want to be heard don’t you? Double check the audio before you send in your file.

Make it fun

Most of all have fun and be creative filming your presentation. Make this a great experience for yourself, your team and the audience. And don’t forget to vote for your favourite entry (made by someone else!) online.
