Contests
Celebrating the some of the best speakers in District 201
Contest Season is approaching!
Contests are a great opportunity for members to showcase their speaking skills, while building confidence, and celebrating the power of personal and professional growth through Toastmasters. Competition begins with club contests, and winners continue competing through the Area, Division, and District levels. The winner of the District International Speech Contest proceeds to the international quarterfinals. Following quarterfinals, winners advance to the semifinals for a chance to take part in the World Championship of Public Speaking to be held at the 2027 Toastmasters International Convention in Paris, France.
