There’s still time for students -- eager to showcase captivating oratorical skills and also vie for hefty cash prizes -- to enter SUNY Fredonia’s annual Public Speaking Competition. The event, to be staged Monday, April 16, from 6 to 10 p.m. in the third floor of McEwen Hall (rooms 201, 202 and 209), will feature a preliminary round, with six to eight students assigned to one of four leagues, followed by a final round comprised of eight finalists.
Cash awards totaling more than $500 will be bestowed upon the first- and second-place contestants, in addition to prizes given to those who do not place. Students can deliver either an informative or persuasive speech.
Registration will be held Tuesday and Wednesday, April 3 and 4, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the McEwen Hall lobby. Only the first 32 applicants will be accepted into the competition. All part-time and full-time students are welcome. A $5 refundable registration fee is due at registration.
The Applied Communication Association and the Public Relations Student Society of America jointly sponsor the competition to highlight the importance of effective public speaking skills.
