Toastmasters International: Speech Contests
Speech contests are a Toastmasters tradition. Each year, eligible Toastmasters compete for the top spot in District 61 to be crowned the best public speaker. At this Division D contest event, the contestants will compete in the following:
Humourous Speech Contest - Contestants present a five- to seven- minute speech thematic in nature (open, body, close) not a monologue (series of one-liners)
International Speech Contest - Contestants present a five- to seven- minute speech to deliver a message of their choosing.
Speech Contests benefit everyone, providing:
- an opportunity for speakers to improve their speaking abilities,
- recognition to the best as encouragement to all,
- the opportunity to learn by observing other speakers.
Each contest begins at the club level. Winners of the club contests may have the opportunity to compete at Area, Division and District contests.
Winners of the Division contests will move to the District Level Contests.
The District Humourous Speech Contest will be on 2026-11-29 in Montreal
The International Speech Contest will be held at the District Conference in Quebec City on 2027-04-17
