Prepared Events
VIRTUAL Pre-recorded, Pre-submitted, and Pre-uploaded events. These events will NOT see a live judge and will be submitted once for all scoring – technical, specification, and presentation.
NOTE: Everything for these competitions will be prepared and uploaded at the same time – there will NOT be a “pre-submit” window to narrow down finalists this year. Please check the WSAP Guidelines for event requirements to ensure that you upload EVERYTHING that the event might require.
Example: Students competing in (410) Graphic Design Promotion will need to submit all five of their “Pre-submit” components (flyer, logo 1, logo, 2, works cited, release form) as well as a video of their presentation to the judges.
Press-submit requirements can be found in the WSAP guides:

- NO editing or visual effects/transitions may be included.
- Individuals may choose to record from any device or through a virtual meeting platform.(Example platforms include: Zoom, Microsoft Teams, FlipGrid, Google Meet, GoToMeeting, etc.)
- Teams of 2 or more competitors must record their solution using a virtual meeting platform with side-by-side screens of the students. (Note: Select Gallery View, not Speaker View, to ensure that all participants always stay visible.)
- If teams of 2 or more record their video not using a virtual meeting platform and are in the same space, CDC Covid-19 safety protocols must be followed by all team members in the video.

- If this recording is conducted at home, it must be done in a gathering area such as a living room, dining room, or den. If the video is recorded in a bedroom or bathroom it may be immediately disqualified without notice/notification.
- It is important to consider your background. Make sure items are neat and presentable. Consider this your office, or the location setting suited for your event.
- The use of digital backgrounds are allowed for these events.
