Information for the 2019 Audio Competition
The ‘AUDIO’ COMPETITION 2019 aims to inspire Secondary students to showcase their talents in 3 ways:
1. To make an effective trailer that will be heard on the radio;
2. To highlight knowledge of Dante Alighieri or a famous Italian chosen by the Society and
3. To use a good standard of Italian
Students who enter will be judged against their peers from the following 3 levels:
Years 7 & 8 Years 9 & 10 Years 11 & 12
The competition invites participants to make a recording in Italian of no longer than 2 minutes for a ‘must-see’ (fictitious) age-appropriate movie about the historical figure of Dante Alighieri or Leonardo da Vinci - This year is the 500th Anniversary of Da Vinci’s death (2nd May 1519).
The trailer must provide for a listening audience, an engaging and enthralling oral snapshot of a movie on the life and/or works of the main character, Dante Alighieri or Leonardo da Vinci. The content of the trailer may focus on interesting factual or biographical information about Dante, e.g. on his literature, The Divine Comedy, or it may combine a mixture of these elements. Otherwise students may choose to present a trailer on biographical information about Leonardo da Vinci’s life and/or from a body of his work in painting, engineering, literature, science, inventions etc.
Movie titles could be inspired by the following ideas –
Regarding Dante: “Dante e Firenze”; “Le Donne dell’Inferno”.
Regarding Leonardo da Vinci: “Il giovane Leonardo”, “I capolavori di Leonardo”, “Le invenzioni e le macchine di Leonardo”, “Leonardo e l’ultima cena” etc.
Please refer to the subsequent pages for Teacher Guidelines, Entry Forms and Criteria to be used by the students.
