Optimist International Oratorical Contest
Optimist International offers clubs a simple but spectacular way to get younger students involved in public speaking and prepare them for higher level Oratorical competitions. These contests are not backed by dollar awards, but encourage students to develop speaking skills and prepare them for future Oratorical contests. Click below for more information on the Optimist International Kids Speak Out Contest and Planning Guide.
Optimist International Essay Contest
The Essay Contest is sponsored by Optimist International to give young people the opportunity to write about their own opinions regarding the world in which they live. The approach can encompass a young person’s personal experience, the experience of their country or a more historical perspective. In additional to developing skills for written expression, participants also have the opportunity to win a college scholarship!
