MD-33 Lions Clubs
State Youth Speech Contest
Topic for 2011-2012
“How Has A Teacher Changed My Life?”
The Competition
The purpose of the competition is to provide an opportunity for students to speak publicly on a designated topic of general interest. The competition starts at the local Lions Club or school level and proceeds through levels of competition ending several months later with the statewide contest. After the club level, the student, if successful each time, moves through the zone, region and district levels. The competition culminates with the five statewide district winners vying for the title of THE BEST IN THE STATE.
Eligibility
The competition is open to ALL students, including LEOs, foreign exchange and home school students, in grades 10, 11 and 12 (or equivalent), provided that the student is sponsored by a Massachusetts Lions or LEO Club. A student can participate in only one club level competition in a school year. A club may decide to sponsor students outside its geographical boundary.
