Speech Contest Season is upon us!

   Speech contest season is upon us in District 26. 

 There are three speech contests that you can participate in this year.  

• The Online speech contest which will end on the District Virtual Stage April 25th
• Humorous Speech Contest Ending on the District Stage on May 3rd
• International Speech contest ending at the World Championship of Public Speaking at the International Convention in August

  For the Online Contest Area level Contest is on November 9th 12:30 to 5:30 pm

  Not only is this a great opportunity for all of us to compete in Speech contests it is also a time to volunteer to help in the contest with roles like Toastmaster, Timer, Judges, vote counters and so forth. A lot of great opportunities to get credit in your pathways as well!   They will need help at all levels going forward, so don't miss out on a great experience in helping with these contests.   

  There are some requirements that have to be meet for the International Contest. We can talk further to those specifics individually.  

 I will include a link below to a very well put together webpage form District 26 the explains a lot about these opportunities and how they can fit into your pathways journey.   An example is here:
