Competitors
Do
you have what it takes to be America’s best high school
orator?
We
think you do. The 2nd National Words That Shook The World High
School Public Speaking Competition will bring out your best.
By competing, you’ll be challenged to think, research
and speak about issues that you believe the nation – and
the world – should know about.
It’s
simple to enter. Just write and deliver a three-minute speech
on “My Message to America.” Videotape the speech
and upload here at the Words That Shook The World web site.
Once submitted, your speech – along with thousands of
others from students just like you – will be judged and
preliminary finalists will be announced in October. Quarter
and semi finals will be held and the top 10 students will compete
in Washington, DC on January 21, 2008. The first place winner
will receive a four-year tuition scholarship valued up to $40,000!
Ready
for the Challenge?
Start
today. What issues do you think are important to the country
and why? What’s your opinion on education, politics, the
environment, war, or even your community? Only by competing
can you let your views be known.
The
National High School Public Speaking Competition will help your
creative writing and expression skills. By being a part of the
contest, you’ll be challenged to assemble the facts and
present them in a compelling way.
Afraid
of speaking in public? Don’t be. The competition will
help you get over the fear of public speaking. You have something
to say and we want to hear it. Open up your mouth and your heart
and be heard. Only by speaking more will you be comfortable
and confident.
