2024-25 District Speech Contest

This year’s theme for our Rotary speech contest:
"The “Magic of Rotary” is dedicated to Rotary International’s seven causes:

How have you or how will you ‘Work YOUR Magic’ in your own community in one or more of the seven areas that Rotary supports?"


This contest is open to all students in grades 9-12, attending school and residing within the 5190 boundaries. Each Area will hold individual contests before April 15th. The District level contest will be held the morning of May 3, 2025 at the Oats Park Art Center in Fallon, Nevada.


Below are the materials for the speech contest. Please do not hesitate to contact Jeanne Schmidt Herron if you have any questions or need further clarification. We wish you the best success as we continue to promote the Youth in our District, Areas and Clubs.
