Last Minute Tips
It may sound simple, but taking a deep breath can help calm your nerves and improve focus. A clear mind leads to a clear presentation!
Go through the RFP again to ensure that your designs meet the minimum requirements. Staying aligned with the RFP helps keep your presentation focused on what the judges expect.
Including slide numbers makes it easier for judges to reference specific points during the Q&A session. It also adds a professional touch to your presentation.
Labeling slides with relevant RFP points ensures the judges can see that you've addressed all requirements. It also demonstrates your attention to detail.
Visual aids help make your presentation easier to follow. Judges are more likely to appreciate an idea if it's presented clearly with visuals rather than buried in a wall of text.
Be sure to include dimensions for all designs. This helps judges understand the scale of your structures. Use text boxes for clarity rather than hand-drawn annotations.
Avoid cramming too much information into small fonts. A clear and readable font size ensures that your content is accessible to the judges.
Pencil sketches can be hard to see on screen. Outlining them in ink will make sure your hard work is visible to the judges.
Whether you created a diagram or sourced information, provide references. This not only credits your work but also allows judges to verify your sources.
