Speech contests are an important part of the Toastmasters educational program. They provide an opportunity for Toastmasters to gain speaking experience, as well as an opportunity for other Toastmasters to learn by observing proficient speakers and organizing events outside their club.

Our 2022 contests will be held virtually, via Zoom. Join the representatives from our Area 4 and Area 34 clubs as they compete in their area-level Evaluation & International Speech Contests!

See the Toastmasters International 2021–2022 Speech Contest Rulebook for eligibility requirements (and all other rules), and the District 28 contest resources page for more information on running, supporting, or competing in speech contests.

Logistics

• Each club in good standing in Area 4 and Area 34 can send up to two contestants for each contest.
