For some Toastmasters, contests are one of the most exhilarating aspects of Toastmasters. For others, they're intimidating. Competing in a contest is an opportunity to extend yourself by stepping into an environment that is different from your usual club meetings. Energize yourself by participating in a contest this season!
Fall 2024 contest season:
- The DEC has voted on Aug 24 - that this year's Fall contests for Area level and beyond for Fall 2024 will be 'In Person Humorous Speech' contest type. We will be informing the Business Council (with all Presidents and VPEs) about this at the next council meeting on Sep 22.
- Clubs can still choose to have their contests virtually or in person or hybrid at the club level. But from the Area level and beyond, contests will be In Person only.
- The timelines for this year's Fall Contest season will be as follows:
- Fall Club contests to be concluded on or before Oct 15, 2024
- Fall Area contests to be concluded on or before Nov 30, 2024
- Fall Division contests to be concluded on or before Jan 31, 2025
- All District level contests will be at the Annual Spring conference in May 2025
Spring 2025 contest season is exclusively for International Speech Contest which provides a chance to compete at the international level.
