JCI World Public Speaking Championship

The JCI World Public Speaking Championship offers members a unique opportunity to exercise and showcase their abilities and to share ideas on important local, national or global issues. A speech competition requires a special kind of public speaking, challenging participants to express creative ideas in a clear and captivating manner.

Public speaking is a critical skill of a leader who can motivate people toward positive change. Every well-prepared speech should have an introduction that captures the attention of the audience, a body featuring the speaker’s message, and a powerful conclusion summarizing the speaker’s arguments.
 
The competition gives every participant a way to express their thoughts to others in an exciting and challenging way. National Public Speaking contest winners compete at the JCI Area Conferences. The winner from each JCI Conference is then expected to represent his or her Area in the final round of the JCI World Public Speaking Championship at the JCI World Congress to be held in Brussels, Belgium 01 – 05, 2011.
The topic of the 2011 JCI World Public Speaking Championship is, "To stir the people toward the establishment of a permanent and everlasting peace," words spoken by JCI Founder Henry Giessenbier
