EVERY high school student in The New York City School System is invited to "Shake The World" with THEIR words and have the chance to win some of the $42,000 in scholarships . . . and help the City of New York, America and The World in "The Environmental Solutions" Competitions.

Students are invited to serve their city, country and the planet by coming up with environmental projects, innovations or even inventions concerning Technology, and the new environmental focus that looks on the interrelationship between "Eating, Health and The Environment". The student will then tell us all about them in a compelling 2 - 3 minute video which will be uploaded on SchoolTube and judged by The National Forensics League and our sponsors.

And, New York City teachers will be able to compete and win prizes in special speech and mentoring competitions as well.

Welcome! You are about to improve your ability to do the scariest thing human beings ever do - stand up and give a speech.

But, as you will learn, it doesn't have to be scary. ALL you have to do, to be a great speaker, and to WIN this competition and the Full Scholarship is to just reach inside and share what you are thinking and feeling. Don't worry about the form or the technique. Don't worry about never having given a speech before. Azah Awasum, the amazing winner of The 1st National competition, last year, had NEVER given a live speech before in her entire life . . . until she stepped out in front of the audience at the Finals in Washington, DC.

ALL you have to do is SPEAK FROM YOUR HEART.

That's what Martin Luther King did. That's what FDR and JFK and Barbara Jordan and Ronald Reagan did.

And, when you learn how to do just that you will become a better communicator in your personal life, you will get better jobs, you will make more money and you will contribute to our country in even bigger ways.

What's YOUR Message For America???

The country is listening!!!
