Topics:  

The Wild Card category provides participants with the chance to showcase their skill at performing or presenting either individually or within a group. This year, in addition to school and university students, the Wild Card category is open to executive-level speakers (young professionals of 21+ years) and teachers and educators of Indonesian.

There is significant freedom in your choice of performance or presentation, which may include (but are not limited to):

• Dramatic performances such as a short original play, film or monologue.
• Creative performances such as an original song, poem, dance or comedy routine.
• Delivering an original translation of a famous Australian poem, with commentary.
• Avideo of you preparing and cooking a healthy meal for a popular television cooking show.
• Demonstration or explanation of sports, arts, rules to games etc.
• Academic presentations such as debates or group discussions.
• Demonstration of a traditional (Australian or Indonesian) ceremony, dance or handcraft.

Participants must use their own words; it will not be acceptable to merely recite someone else’s poem, song or skit. Creativity is highly encouraged! It is important to note that if there are multiple group members, each member of the group must contribute to speaking Indonesian.

Adjudication:

Unique to the Wild Card category this year, a judging panel will select no more than the top 5 video entries for uploading onto NAILA’s online voting platform. The finalists will be announced after the submission period has ended and links to their videos will be disseminated using NAILA’s mailing list and social media platforms. The general public will then have the opportunity to vote for their favourite video using the voting function of our website, as well as Facebook’s ‘like’. Voting will close prior to the winning entry being announced at the Awards Ceremony. If the winning entry is submitted by more than one individual, the monetary award may be shared between group members at their discretion.
