The Multicultural Perspectives Public Speaking Competition entry form

Applications open Tuesday 28 January 2025.
Applications close Friday 21 March 2025.

Entry in this competition is open to government primary and central students throughout NSW. If you have any questions about the competition, please don't hesitate to call the Speaking Competitions Officer on (02) 8512 1172.

Speaker names

Note that it's fine to enter without having selected the students who will be representing your school as yet. Most schools will enter and then run a process to decide which speaker(s) they will put forward for the competition, so it's fine to leave the 'Name of student' fields blank. We'll use the entry to start planning where we need local finals and then once you've chosen your speakers you can email through the names.

Entry fees

Entry fees are $25.00 per student, which means a maximum of $100.00 per school. The fees will be debited from your school's account in due course, so please advise the relevant person in your school's office that this will occur. Note that schools submitting an entry form must pay the fee even if they subsequently withdraw from the competition.

Hosting a final

We'll do almost all of the organising for the event and provide funds for relief and catering. Hosting a final provides an excellent opportunity for your students to observe advanced public speaking. Can we contact you about hosting a local final?
