Judging categories include assessing a speech’s content, its delivery, and the speaker’s choice of Language. There’s much to learn in order to carry out your responsibilities in the fairest, most effective way.

  • You’ll discover the qualities that separate a good speech from an award-worthy speech
  • You’ll advance your status and reputation within the Toastmasters community

Your eligibility as a judge is determined by the type of contest you apply for. Remember, great leaders thrive on learning new skills. Your ability to evaluate people’s work with an impartial view is a valuable asset in any work environment.
