The Optimist Oratorical Contest is a public speaking competition that gives students an opportunity to speak to the world on a specific topic. Since its start in 1928, the Optimist Oratorical Contest has become the longest-running program sponsored by Optimist International. The contest is designed for youth to gain experience in public speaking, perfect self-expression, gain self-assurance, improve communication skills, and provide them with the opportunity to compete for a college scholarship. More than $150,000 in college scholarships are funded by the Optimist International Foundation annually.
Districts have the opportunity to provide a first-place scholarship of $2,500, a second place scholarship of $1,500,
and a third place scholarship of $1,000. First place winners of the District competition qualify for the World Championships which start with Regional contests. Each 9 Regional winners received $5,000 and qualify for the Championship round. All winners of the World Regional Contests will be eligible to compete in the World Championship Contest with awards for first, second, and third place of $15,000, $10,000, and $5,000 respectively at Saint Louis University in St. Louis, Missouri.
