to make a training before the actual competition. You can get a
visit from a JCI trainer who can teach you presentation techniques.
Or you can get a visit from a former participant of the national
competition and hear about their experiences.
For the competition you need judges. Judges may be the other
members of your chapter, but we recommend that you use trained
judges (which you can find by checking www.jci.dk/dgm/ or contact
JCI Slagelse), or you can ask members from another chapter if
they will judge your local competition.
Judges scoring sheets can be found on www.jci.dk/dgm/ and must
be used for the competition. At our website you can also find more
about the rules and judging criteria.
You do not need to set up an entire competition in your chapter.
Even if just one member wants to participate in the competition, you
can sign up and then this member will be your
