Welcome! You are about to improve your ability to do the scariest thing human beings ever do - stand up and give a speech.

But, as you will learn, it doesn't have to be scary. ALL you have to do, to be a great speaker, and to WIN this competition and the Full Scholarship is to just reach inside and share what you are thinking and feeling. Don't worry about the form or the technique. Don't worry about never having given a speech before. Azah Awasum, the amazing winner of The 1st National competition, last year, had NEVER given a live speech before in her entire life . . . until she stepped out in front of the audience at the Finals in Washington, DC.

ALL you have to do is SPEAK FROM YOUR HEART.

That's what Martin Luther King did. That's what FDR and JFK and Barbara Jordan and Ronald Reagan did.

And, when you learn how to do just that you will become a better communicator in your personal life, you will get better jobs, you will make more money and you will contribute to our country in even bigger ways.

What's YOUR Message For America???

The country is listening!!!

In addition to the opportunity to be "America's Greatest High School Speaker" and win a 4 year scholarship, we want to share some other cool prizes and experiences.

NOTE: You MAY, but are NOT required to, submit one of these Elective speeches as your official General Competition entry
