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.

Join the representatives from our Division E clubs as they compete in their division-level Humorous & International Speech Contests. The winners of these contests will advance to the district contest.

See the Toastmasters International 2025–2026 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.
