Why Speech Contests

Speech contests are a Toastmasters tradition. Each year, we seek to identify and recognize members with outstanding public speaking skills, and ultimately award the title of “World Champion of Public Speaking”. Besides being fun, it recognizes excellence, inspires our members, and draws attention to our organization.
