NAD Seeks Talent to Showcase at the 49th Biennial NAD Conference
Silver Spring, MD The National Association of the Deaf (NAD) is
looking for deaf talent for a competition to determine the most
theatrically presented material in American Sign Language (ASL)
during ASL Live! on Tuesday, July 8, 2008 during the 49th Biennial
NAD Conference in New Orleans! Loosely based on the popular TV
program, American Idol, this evening of great talent and fun will be
hosted by former Miss Deaf America, Lauren Teruel Ridloff.
The evening will feature ten talented semi-finalists who will exhibit
their creativity in the use of the American Sign Language in front of
a large audience and three judges. It will be the audience and the
judges who will ultimately decide the winner.
Performers will be judged on ASL translations, ASL delivery,
performance and originality. Performances can include ASL poetry, ASL
storytelling, ASL monologues or an ASL interpreted “songs”.
The ten (10) semi-finalists will be selected from submitted audition
videos by a panel of judges.
Guidelines for interested performers (contestants).

About the NAD
The National Association of the Deaf (NAD) was established in 1880 by
deaf leaders who believed in the right of the American deaf community
to use sign language, to congregate on issues important to them, and
to have its interests represented at the national level. These
beliefs remain true to this day, with American Sign Language as a
core value. As a nonprofit federation, the mission of the NAD is to
preserve, protect, and promote the civil, human, and linguistic
rights of deaf Americans. The advocacy scope of the NAD is broad,
covering the breadth of a lifetime and impacting future generations
in the areas of early intervention, education, employment, health
care, technology, telecommunications, youth leadership, and more. For
