-

-
Registration Deadline - 6 pm 10th of June, 2019
-
All proposal abstracts should include a statement describing why the presentation will be of interest to Texoma NATS members and students.
-
For each of the following presentation formats, successful proposals ought to include the following as the supporting materials:
-
Lecture: a well-organized outline of the lecture; demonstrating evidence of the presenters' expertise on the lecture’s topic
-
Some examples of evidence of expertise:
-
History of training, education, research and/or creative activities on the subject matter (e.g., “I studied Russian diction with _______, and I spent one semester of research leave in St. Petersburg)
-
Evidence of funding, grants, and/or commissioning on related projects.
-
Presenters should not provide information that reveals their identity
-
-
-

-
Recital: a full program listing and program notes; recent recording samples of presenter(s) singing selections from the proposed program
-
-
Recording files:
-
No video files: only audio mp3 files (because only mp3 can be played on every device and computers regardless of OS).
-
10 mb maximum: most audio files for standard classical songs and arias would suffice 5 mb. Past submissions are on average 2 mb each file. We can technically handle larger files for storage and scrubbing but they would slow every step of process down and frankly we don’t want to hear long selections at SHD quality. If the applicant does not know how to produce mp3 files or reduce the file size, there is something wrong in this day and age. She or he ought to be willing to invest that much time, effort and money (if needs be) for this endeavor.
-
Self-filter any signs of identity within the recording: erasing the names within the recording (but labeled clearly).
-
-
Presentations should be no more than 50 minutes in duration and there will be no intermission.
