Westborough Lions Youth Speech Competition

The Westborough Lions Club is hosting a Speech Contest for Westborough students in grades 9-12 on Tuesday, November 28, 2017 at 6:30 p.m. in the Event Room at Tatnuck Bookseller on Lyman St. in Westborough. This is a public speaking competition in which contestants will give a 5-8 minute speech on the topic: What is the Impact of Volunteerism? Three independent judges will evaluate each speech on delivery, effectiveness, and text. The winner will move on to the Zone II contest in December and will compete against the winners from Berlin, Bolton, Clinton, Harvard, and Northborough. Three additional levels of competition will then occur at the Region, District, and finally the State Contest in the spring, where the winner will receive $1,500 and each runner up $500. There are monetary prizes at each level beginning with the local level. Students interested in participating should visit the Club Projects section of the Lions website at westboroughlionsclub.org for more information. Deadline to sign up is Monday, November 6th.
