Oratory: The Art of Public Speaking
The Oratorical Speech Contest is based on the Rotary Four-Way Test
Is it the TRUTH?
Is it FAIR to all concerned?
Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?
Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?
Contestants will present a five to seven minute speech on how they plan to live their lives based on the four-way test.
The Oratorical Contest will help build public speaking skills and confidence.
Scholarships are awarded in the final round for the top presenters who attend a participating college.
Your local Rotary Club will sponsor and support contestants throughout the entire contest.
Work with professionals and coaches to develop a skill that will benefit you
for the rest of your life.
