Public Speaking Contests - 2026

In addition to participating in community contests such as the Optimist Club, Lions Club, Canadian Legion and other speaking events, Stand Up and Speak also hosts our own student contests throughout the year. These events are made possible through the generous support of our contest sponsors, who help us award cash prizes, craft inspiring themes, and judge the competition alongside our coaches. Each sponsor plays a vital role in empowering youth to develop their voice and confidence. As a thank-you, every sponsor receives a dedicated landing page that highlights their business and celebrates their impact on the community.
