How to become World Champion of Public Speaking

Sean Lin, DTM, Club Mentor & Charter Secretary

Speech contests are a Toastmasters tradition. Each year, thousands of Toastmasters compete in the Humorous, Evaluation, Tall Tales, Table Topics®, Online, and International speech contests. Competition begins with club contests, and winners continue competing through the Area, Division, and District levels. Winners of the District level International Speech Contest proceed to the quarterfinal level. Following quarterfinals, winners advance to the semifinals for a chance to take part in the World Championship of Public Speaking®.
