Speech Contests

Show off your speaking savvy

Speech contests are a Toastmasters tradition. Each year thousands of Toastmasters compete in the Humorous, Evaluation, Tall Tales, Table Topics and International speech contests. Competition begins with club contests and winners compete upward through the area, division and district levels. The International competition has two additional levels -- regional and international.

Speech contests are public events so they should be planned carefully and conducted professionally. When you begin to plan for or compete in any speech contest you need to know the rules.
