The 10th Annual Hunger Games: Writing a New Ballad

---

Finn Reilly (He/Him) is absolutely thrilled to be crisis directing and this year's host of the Hunger Games!! Finn is a junior at Emory University originally from Topeka in the great state of Kansas. On campus, Finn is involved as an RA, a member of EIRA, and a campus tour guide. Double majoring in Business and International Studies, Finn is aspires to enter the professional world in commercial aviation hoping to do a myriad of things from increasing sustainability to making it a better workplace for employees. For several years, the Hunger Games franchise has held a special place in Finn's heart and he can't wait to make one of his favorites into a committee. Being the nerd he is, as soon as he saw the film, his first thought was "this would make an excellent crisis committee." He can't wait to see what the delegates bring and looks forward to a fascinating new ballad. This is his third time crisis directing and he plans to make this committee extra special!

Welcome to the 10th Annual Hunger Games!! It is ten years after the Dark Days of Panem are over and it is time to commence this year's Hunger Games. In this fast paced crisis committee, delegates will follow the ideas presented in Suzanne Collins' 2020 book, The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, and serve as students of the Capitol Academy and Mentors to Tributes in the 10th Hunger Games. As viewership of these games has gone down, delegates will be tasked as policymakers to create changes that will make the games more attention grabbing. How can you create a better Hunger Games for Panem? Should they even continue? In addition to this, delegates will function as mentors to a tribute that shall be randomly assigned at a reaping during the first crisis update! As the committee goes on, delegates will need to advise and protect their tributes before and during the games to ensure that their future as a rising star in Panem! Decisions will need to be calculated and politically motivated if you and your tribute are to make it all the way through. May The Odds Be Ever in Your Favor!
