This is a great time to get started by choosing a topic you would like to talk about in this contest. Please keep these ideas in mind when writing your speech. Public Speaking participants should write speeches with topics that are special or interesting to them. Public Speaking is not a demonstration contest so posters and props should not be used. You have lots of time to write and practice your speech. When choosing a topic, consider your other 4-H projects, your pets, school activities, or just a special community issue that you would like to stress. Your speech can be serious, funny, or sad. All speeches should be informational and they will be scored on the organization of the information, use of communication skills, and contact with the audience. The participants should write his or her own speech. Public Speaking General Rules and Entry Form are linked below
