Self-presentation is the key moment of performance at the competition. No wonder he always receives so much attention. A lot will depend on whether the person’s first appearance on the stage is successful, up to whether he will win the competition or not.
Instruction manual
1
Decide on the number of verses. Someone may have many, someone will make a “collage” of poetic passages. Both that, and another can be a winning option if you figure out in time which method is best suited to the competition as a whole, and your performance on it in particular. A person can go out with one short verse and tightly rivet the attention of the audience, the other will crucify for a long time and tediously, until he is thrown with rotten tomatoes.
2
The content of the poems must necessarily be linked to the concept of the competition. This is understandable, and the contestant comes from this when he searches for suitable works. It is more difficult to make the poems accurately convey your view of things, your goals, your nature. The artistic image must match the image that you create in the competition.
3
Another snag associated with the content of the poems is that often the contestants choose poems of dubious obscure authors, teeming with "jokes of humor" that no one but the author himself can understand and appreciate. It is better not to take risks in the competition, if this, of course, is not a competition for the most stupid joke. Humor is an explosive thing: it will either put you on a pedestal, or cast you into the abyss of shame. Be careful with him.

Often it’s not even what the verses are that matter, but the way you read them. If recitation is not for you, if at school you always read poetry, as an announcer of sports news, - rather, rather, only you get out of here, it is probably better to put aside the idea of self-presentation in verse. Prefer a traditional greeting. But if you are an excellent rhetorician and speaker, versed in intonation and master the basics of acting, then your performance will certainly make a favorable impression.
5
However, be vigilant and do not replay. Poems drag out inspired people, and a contestant can forget about everything in the world, carried away by the wonderful syllable of the chosen poem. To prevent this from happening, always keep in mind the following things: the place where you are now, the goal you are pursuing, the means that you have chosen to achieve this goal. Be cool internally and control yourself. Then you will succeed.
