District 54 will conduct the International Speech Contest and the Table Topics Contest in 2024. All contests at the Area, Division and District Levels will be held online (virtually). Clubs have the option of holding their contest in person, online or hybrid.
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 the Division or Area Director.
***Clubs must complete their contests by January 31, 2024.***
