District 54 will conduct the International Speech Contest and the Evaluation Speech Contest in 2025. All contests will be held in person.
Contests are a great opportunity for members of our clubs to showcase the best speakers as they compete, starting at the club level.
To be eligible to compete, a member must be a paid member of a club in the Area, Division, and District in which they are competing, and the club must be in good standing (minimum of 8 paid members). For the International Speech Contest, the contestant must also have completed Levels 1 and 2 in a Path or have earned a Distinguished Toastmaster (DTM) award.
Contest schedules will be posted below. If you would like to assist in any of these contests, please contact your Division or Area Director.
***Clubs must complete their contests by February 15, 2025.***
District 54 will offer 2 training sessions to support club officers and members as they prepare for their speech contests. Both sessions will be hosted on Zoom, and all members are welcome to attend one session or both. Session information:
