2006-2007
The Youth Speech Competition provides an opportunity for students in grades 10, 11, and 12 to speak publicly and freely on a designated topic of general interest. The competition starts at the local club or school level and proceeds through several levels of competition ending several months later with a state wide competition. In between there are zone, region, and district levels of competitions where the winner of each level has the opportunity to proceed to the next level.
The competition culminates with five statewide district winners vying for the title of BEST IN THE STATE at the annual MD33 State Convention. There are prizes and/or awards for each contestant at every level of competition. The prizes at the State Competition are $1,500 to the winner and $500 to each runner up. Prizes at other level of competition are at the discretion of the Clubs or District Governor.
The competition is open to all students,
including foreign exchange and home schooled students between in grades
10, 11 and 12, provided they are sponsored by a Massachusetts Lions,
Lioness, or
Leo Club. The sponsoring Club, at its discretion and at the club level
only,
may impose eligibility requirements such as residency or school
location.
A student may participate in only one club level competition in a
school
year. Each Club in the District may sponsor one student beyond the club
level competition. Students living in the
western
Massachusetts area of District 33Y can download a copy of the "Quick
Facts
and Registration Form."
