Fall 2010 Contests Schedule
The Fall Contest season is soon upon us!
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 compete upward through the area, division and district levels. The International competition has two additional levels -- semifinal and international.
This year's Fall Contests feature Humorous Speech and Evaluation Speech Contests.
We urge all Toastmasters to enter. A Speech Contest is different from all others in that while trophies or ribbons may be awarded to only a few, everybody wins!
| October 2 | Deadline for Club Contests | |

Speech contests are public events so they should be planned carefully and conducted professionally. When you begin to plan for or compete in any speech contest you need to know the rules. Download a PDF version of the Speech Contest Rulebook (Item 1171) (http://www.toastmasters.org/rulebook.aspx) or you can purchase a copy from the TI store.
