Club Contest season is right around the corner. District 52 is doing two types of contests this year: International & Humorous. In February the clubs will have their contests, in March we will have Area Contests, in April we will have Division contests, and in May we will have the District Contest. For more information about speech contests, you can visit here: https://www.district52.org/information-for-all-area-division-district-contests-for-2023/
Important note on contests: The District has voted (per page 8 of the contest rulebook) to allow clubs to have 2 representatives.
Further, it should be noted that if a club does not have a club contest, they can still have members volunteer to be in the club contest. Please reach out to your Area Director here: https://www.district52.org/contact-us/. If you have trouble connecting them, please reach out to me, the Program Quality Director.
