  Conducting the Contest

  • One at a time, contestants will draw three topics, select one and return the other two. Contestants will then be given three minutes to prepare a speech on the selected topic. Contestants may use pencil and paper to write down and organize their thoughts in preparation but may not use notes in the actual delivery of the speech.
  • Contestants may be assigned to sections and speaker order may be established prior to the meet.
  • All contestants who are participating will watch the other participants and act as an audience member. Each student will be pulled out for their time to prep, prior to their speaking order. Students should be prepared to speak in front of an audience.
  • No speaker may be coached or prompted in any way during the performance.
  • Students will have a maximum of five minutes to deliver their speeches. Students will be timed, but only to confirm they are under time. Time cards will be used.
  • Topics at contest will be RANDOM, as sent by UIL for the event. No set list of topics will be used.
