HOW IT WORKS:
-
Students are invited to craft a powerful, 5-7 minute speech akin to TEDtm, tackling an ethical issue using the Rotary 4-Way Test.
-
Club-level contests select winners by mid-April 2026. District support is available!
-
The journey continues at the Semi-Finals to be held via Zoom on April 25, 2026, leading to the finals (ultimate face-off) on May 9, 2026, at the Phoenixville YMCA at 1 p.m.
IMPORTANT POINTS:
-
Open to ALL high school students (not just INTERACTORS) to share their passionate voices.
-
For schools lacking a sponsoring club, we’re dedicated to finding the right sponsor.
-
Should a school have a single participant, they must present to the club before advancing to the Semi-Final level.
-
Clubs can send a maximum of two students, with potential for two from each school if sponsoring more than one school.
-
Schools with numerous participants may consider internal selections to streamline club entries.
