Speech Contest

Speech Contest

These are official District 74 Contest Scripts and are intended to be used at all contest levels. When more than one contest is being held at a contest event, appropriate modifications can be made to the Toastmaster scripts to transition from one contest to another. Contestant interviews are to be conducted only after the last contest has concluded.

All District 74 contests adhere to the Toastmasters International Contest Rulebook.
