Speech Contests
Overview
Toastmasters contests are fun and educational! Contests are held twice a year. In the spring, we hold the International Speech and Evaluation contests. In the fall, we hold the Humorous Speeches and Table Topics contests.
Here is how it works. First, all clubs hold their own individual contests. Then, club winners compete at the Area level, Area winners compete at the Division level and Division winners compete at the District 10 contest (held at the District 10 Conference). For the International Speech only, the District 10 winner competes against winners from other Districts, at the Toastmasters International Convention.
The District has generated two lists of Highly Qualified Judges (HQJ) along with a listing of dignitaries within the district. They can be found here:
