Spring 2010 Speech Contests

There are two Separate contests and an individual may compete in both.

INTERNATIONAL SPEECH (5 to 7 minutes) - To participate in any level of the International Speech Contest, a full member must have completed at least six manual speeches from the Competent Communication manual prior to the club contest.

TALL TALES CONTEST (3 to 5 minutes) - To provide participants with the opportunity to create an original, highly improbable, humorous tale.

Speech Contest Purpose

• To provide an opportunity for speakers to improve their speaking abilities and to recognize the best as encouragement to all.
• To provide an opportunity to learn by observing the more proficient speakers who have benefited from their Toastmasters training.

Each Toastmaster club has their own contest or selection process to choose a representative from the club. Winners advance through the organizational structure of clubs in four steps of a tournament (Club - Area - Division - District 6). The finals are at the District 6 Spring Convention April 23rd and 24th at the Ramada Plaza, Minneapolis, MN.
