A little bit about the Toastmasters International Speech Contest

The Toastmasters International Speech Contest Semifinals lead up to the World Championship of Public Speaking^®, the highest level of competition at Toastmasters. Competition begins at the club level and proceeds through the Area, Division, District, and region quarterfinal levels.

Region quarterfinal judging takes place in June, and the the top two contestants from each region proceed to the semifinals, where they compete for a chance to become the World Champion of Public Speaking.

The 2024 International Speech Contest Semifinals and World Championship of Public Speaking® will be conducted as hybrid contests hosted from Anaheim, California, United States, as part of the Toastmasters 2024 International Convention. Each participant will have the option to present onsite from Anaheim or online from their home country.
