Speech Contests

Below are all the necessary materials to plan for a contest

Speech Contest District decision for Areas & Divisions  

▸ In Areas where there are 4 or fewer clubs, clubs are allowed to send 2 contestants to the Area  contests 

▸ In Divisions where there are 4 or fewer Areas, Areas are allowed to send 2 contestants to the Division  contest

Check the Distinguished Program to see if your Area has 4 or fewer clubs or if your Division has 4 or fewer Areas.

Note:  The District structure is as per the current Distinguished Program. Clubs in "good standing" and contestants in "good standing" only affect whether a contestant can compete.

Candidates must be a member in good standing for all levels of the contest.
