We have compiled documents and a letter to help 9th-12th graders prepare for the 2025-2026 Public Speaking Contest Season. Please note, we are still learning about changes to 4-H Congress and Portfolios! Things may change! Below is some information on what will be included in the packet:
- Dates Related to Public Speaking and Congress
- Financial Award Break Downs
- Information on Volunteering and Not Competing in Speeches
- Who can attend Congress
- Traditional public speaking scorecard for high school members
- Extemporaneous public speaking scorecard for high school members (regional competitors only)
