Speech Contest Schedule

Below is an excerpt from the rule book related to education requirements for the International Speech Contest:

Contestant must have completed six speech projects in the
Competent Communication manual
or a minimum of two levels in the Toastmasters Pathways learning experience. 

However, a charter member of a club chartered less than one year
before the club contest is permitted to compete without having
completed this requirement.
The club must have officially chartered before the area contest.
