This year's National Public Speaking Championships will be held from Friday, February 11, until Sunday, February 13, 2022. Due to the COVID situation and rules, it will be held online.
The Debating, Persuasive, and Impromptu Speaking will be done synchronously and will take place on the tournament weekend.
Interpretive Reading will be done asynchronously. Students will need to do video recordings of their presentations and email the links to us by February . We will then send those links to the judges.
The finals of all events will be done synchronously on the weekend of Feb 11-13.
Each province or territory can send up to 8 students. There is no registration fee but each competitor MUST provide a judge available for all of the rounds of the tournament including the asynchronous rounds. This can be two or three judges splitting the judging duties rather than one person doing all of the judging. Judges do not need to have any experience judging since there will be a briefing for them.
