Historical Perspective
Speech contests are a Toastmasters tradition. Each year, thousands of Toastmasters compete in the Humorous, Evaluation, Tall Tales, Table Topics and International speech contests. Competition begins with club contests, and winners continue competing through the Area, Division and District levels. Winners of the District level International Speech Contest proceed to the region quarterfinal level. Following region quarterfinals, winners advance to the semifinals for a chance to take part in the World Championship of Public Speaking®.
Each year, more than 30,000 Toastmasters compete in one or more contests.
In District 64 Clubs typically start their contests in March, followed by Area Contests, Division Contests and ending at the District Speech Contests in late April or early May held during the Spring Convention. This season, 2021 – 2022, we are starting the club contests in January, then Area in February, and Divission in March..
In 2020 and 2021 the speech contests were held online due to COVID restrictions. However 2022 should see a return to in person contests.
