Speech Contests

District 215 is committed to contests that are organized, fair, supportive, and rewarding for contestants, judges, and contest officials.

From the first club contest through the district level, the goal is to help everyone understand the process, feel prepared, and show their communication and leadership skills. Prepare. Participate. Support. Shine.
