Introduction to Official AO Handbook

1. Just like the annual Fall Sports Olympix, the Arts Olympix aims to encapsulate different activities, healthy competition, and team spirit to create an annual community-building event that celebrates some of the many different forms of art that are and can be manifested on campus as an inter college art contest. 2. Like the Sports Olympix, this annual event is booked for the fourth weekend of the semester (to foster the energies from the beginning of the semester for a successful event.) 3. Unlike other arts events and shows such as Dancestoned and Spotlight, this one rounds up various arts into one day filled with different activities, mini-competitions, and a grand finale show. 4. The Arts Olympix Committee will be in charge of planning, organizing, and executing the event. Registration to the event will be handled by the College Reps within the organizing committee. 5. The competitions composing the Arts Olympix will require prior preparation and organization. Below is an outline of the activities. Each will be gone over in detail in this handbook, including a description, rules, and rubric for participants to use. These are subject to change in next years. 6. Everything in this handbook that is marked with a (TBD) is yet to be determined or confirmed. This handbook is subject to change and will serve as a foundation for this project titled: Arts Olympix. The Organizational Committee reserves the right to flexibility for modifications to the preparation, regulations, execution, and logistics of the event. 7.

Arts Olympix General Rules and Notes

No knowledge of the following rules is not an excuse for breaking them. The four teams eligible to participate in the Arts Olympix 2013 are based on the four residential college system. Participating teams are Team Krupp, Team Mercator, Team C3, and Team Nordmetall.

College Masters, College Office Managers, RAs, and any sole individual that is directly affiliated to the college are allowed participation in the event, including alumni and graduate students.

Graduate students enrolled at Jacobs University Bremen are also allowed to participate by affiliating themselves with any of the four teams listed above. Participation from all four teams (including graduates) in the form of representation is recommended. o Representation will be decided within the college for each one of the activities with the guidance of the respective College Team Rep.

An individual is limited to participate in a maximum of three competitions to encourage diverse participation. Undergraduate students participants are only allowed to participate (and compete for) the college that he/she is currently residing in, with the exception of participation in the movie competition.

The Arts Olympix Committee encourages everyone to participate regardless of talents and special skills. The Arts Olympix attempts to create opportunities for everyone to participate in a different-themed competitive environment and in a healthy manner.

This handbook will be made available via e-mail and Facebook for everyone to access, download, and print. Every college, with the help of the College Team Reps, reserves the right to organize its representation in the way that best fits for them. Organizational teams for each one of the mini-competitions are encouraged for more effective preparation.

The Arts Olympix Committee suggests that every college have pep rallies and organizational meetings to effectively prepare the activities. The amount of points allotted to each activity is an indicator/recommendation of how much preparation should go into each one of the activities.

On the day of the event, none of the activities will overlap in time to allow for equal attendance and support. A schedule can be found at the end of the handbook. Every college office reserves the right to support their students in any way seen fit by the committee in the preparation of the competition. Participation by the college offices in this effort is completely voluntary.

Every team for every activity shall be registered with their respective College Reps by Sunday, February 17, 2013. These lists will be brought to the organizational committee. These registrations can be made with the College Reps responsible for registration in each college: o Krupp: Gabriela Guevara and Domingo Vivas o Mercator: Marie Ritter and Valeria Azorina o College 3: Alexandra Moroti and Akshun Abhimanyu o Nordmetall: Anja Djokic and Julianne Kube

A member of the Arts Olympix Organizational Committee will collect all of the scores from each activity and will calculate an average of these scores for that activity for a respective team. This number will count towards the final sum of points of the day.

The average of scores of each activity for a single team will be added up (7 activities) to obtain a final score for the day. The highest number will receive the first place recognition.

Anti-sportsmanship and the use of offensive language/behavior will not be tolerated, and anything perceived as offensive to the competitors through artistic manifestation in any of the competitions may lead to disqualification by the committee.

Rubrics will be supplied with the point breakdown prior to the event and will be available for all the competitions to all the students in the hopes of improving transparency, fairness and healthy competition.
