Contest Selection

At the April 27, 2024 District Council Meeting, an exception was granted to the District Procedures for the 2024-2025 Contest season to allow the incoming District Leadership to select the contests that will be run this year, and the timing of those contests. Once that decision is available, it will be posted here.

District Procedures state that District 47 will hold 3 contests per year to be International, Evaluations and Table Topics Speech Contests, to be held in a single season with Area contests beginning no earlier than January 15th and culminating in the District contests at the Annual Conference.
