on the display, and must not exceed 3 feet.

Width will be measured from the widest part of anything on the display to

the opposite point and must not exceed 4 feet

Depth will be measured from the widest point of anything on the display to

the opposite point and must not exceed 2 feet.

Dimensions include audio-visual equipment, computers, mannequins and all

other props.

Information or display items outside the dimensions will be considered part

of the display and subject to point deductions.

7. The competitor is responsible for the safety and proper functioning of all equipment they bring

to this event. The competitor may not use any flames, body fluids, living organisms, syringes, or

potentially hazardous equipment/materials. Invasive procedures and skin puncturing are

prohibited.

presentation/question portion of the event may be touched or picked up but must remain

contained within the dimensions of the display. Items removed from the display will be

considered outside the dimensions of the display and subject to point deductions.

12. Each team will be judged on their overall display and how well they documented the career or

career cluster through the display. Each team will also be judged on their ability to

communicate information to the judges about the career area. During the five (5) minute

prepared presentation, time cards will be shown with one (1) minute remaining and stop at the

end of 5 minutes.

13. No equipment or supplies (except tables) will be provided by HOSA for this event. All

equipment/supplies needed must be provided by the team. It is the team’s responsibility to

ensure that all equipment is in working condition.

14. Electricity will not be provided. Teams MUST use battery power instead of electricity for their

displays if power is required.
