Updated! 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. Click here to check out vlog from Lauren about
ASL Live!

ASL Live! Finals, sponsored by CSDVRS, will feature talented
semi-finalists who will exhibit their creativity in the use of the
American Sign Language in front of a large audience and a panel of
distinguished judges. It will be the audience and the judges who will
ultimately decide the winners. Performers will be judged on ASL
translations, ASL delivery, performance, and originality. Submissions
can include ASL poetry, storytelling, monologues or songs.
The top three ASL Live! winners will receive recognition/prize awards
(first place – $2,000; second place – $1,500; third place – $1,000).

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 more information,
