Our Chief Judge’s vision for District 103 Toastmasters is:
Elevate the game of District 103 Toastmasters speech skills through club contests. By providing the players, both contestants and contest functionaries, with a fair and informed competition to participate in, win, and have fun.
Solomon Kelly, DTM, D103 Chief Judge
Planning Your Speech Contests
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®.
Club Members need to stretch their speaking skills and challenge themselves to get out of their comfort zone to compete at all levels and trust they can compete against club members, who are experienced competitors.
To understand the Speech Contest Program, view the speech contests resource below, which gives you the overall resources to planning a contest, review the forms you need, the contest rules, the protocols of a contest at all levels (Club, Area, Division & District) and the descriptions of each Toastmasters Contests.
