Students that are interested should have turned in entry forms and fees by Oct. 3 to the Forensics coordinator in her office of A222-E.

However, those in need more time to send in entries, an extended deadline is given which gives students have until Thursday Nov. 18 to send in whatever they need to.

High school participant fees can be mailed to the college in advance to Forensics Coordinator Libby Curiel or paid the day of the tournament.

Students may enter in up to two Individual events or Parliamentary Debate for a nominal$10 per individual event or $30 per Parliamentary Team Debate. A dinner will also be available for an additional $10 per student.
