Attention interpretive competitors!
Confirm that your source meets Stoa Publication Guidelines before cutting. All interpretive sources must be published. NITOC competitors must provide proof of publication in the form of a permanent number like an ISBN. The only exception is for Open Interpretations which may be entirely self-written. OI’s adapted from another person’s work must still have proof of publication.
Acceptable Sources:
Printed Sources: Have a copyright page that contains an ISBN or other ID numbers. Books printed prior to 1970 might lack an ID number. Check with the Speech Committee to confirm acceptability: speechcommittee@stoausa.com
Online Sources: Tread carefully! Find a printed copy at the library or bookstore, or search for the source on Amazon. Try to “look inside” the book, locate the copyright page and take a screenshot showing the ID number.
Unacceptable Sources:
Blogs: From any source. Blogs are not permanent and lack an ID number.
Media Transcripts: These are scripts transcribed from a live or recorded performance (theater, movies, TV, YouTube). For example, you find the script from your favorite movie online, but it lacks a permanent ID number, and it is not published in a book. It’s a media transcript and an unacceptable Stoa interpretation source.
Look for that ID number!
