Speech Contests

Speech contests are a Toastmasters tradition. Each year, thousands of Toastmasters compete in the Humorous, Evaluation, Tall Tales, Table Topics, Online, and International speech contests. Competition begins with club contests, and winners continue to compete at the Area, Division, and District levels. Winners of the District level International Speech Contest proceed to the quarterfinal level. Following the quarterfinals, winners advance to the semifinals for a chance to compete in the World Championship of Public Speaking.
