+### Grading system for presentations
+
+Judges will use a seven-point scale (0-7) to judge presentations on the following criterion:
+
+#### Comprehension & Content
+
+- The speaker provided clear background and significance to the research question.
+- The speaker clearly described the research strategy/design and the results/findings of the research.
+- The speaker clearly described the conclusions, outcomes and impact of the research, and was able to answer audience questions.
+
+#### Engagement & Communication (last three statements)
+
+    The oration was delivered clearly, and the language was appropriate for a non-specialist audience.
+    The presentation slide deck was well-organized and enhanced the presentation.
+    The presenter conveyed enthusiasm for their research, articulated thoughtful answers to questions, and captured and maintained the audience’s attention.
+
+The score for each statement will be weighted equally into a final score. The final decision will be made jointly in the judges deliberation session taking the score and other comments into account.
