The American Legion Oratorical Committee, Department of Massachusetts, INC.
The American Legion
Oratorical Contest exists to develop deeper knowledge and appreciation for the
U.S. Constitution among high school students. Since 1938, the program has
presented participants with an academic speaking challenge that teaches
important leadership qualities, the history of our nation’s laws, the ability
to think and speak clearly, and an understanding of the duties,
responsibilities, rights and privileges of American citizenship. The program
has featured numerous politicians and prominent contestants over the years,
including former president candidate Alan Keyes and CNN anchor Lou Dobbs.
High school students under age 20 are eligible. Competition begins at the post level and advances to a state competition. Legion department representatives certify one winner per state to the national contest, where department winners compete against each other in two speaking rounds. The contest caps off with a final round that decides the three top finishers.
Speaking subjects must be on some aspect of the U.S. Constitution, with some emphasis on the duties and obligations of citizens to our government. Speeches are eight to 10 minutes long; three- to five-minute speeches on an assigned topic also are part of the contest.
DEADLINE: December 31, 2014 - Student must be nominated by their HS principal
