Good question about Public Speaking Contest
- For the Cass County Public Speaking Contest, any student can give a speech, including non 4-Hers. It can be on any topic; even recited poems and/or prose readings are acceptable. Ribbons are given, but contestants cannot advance to district level (it’s a county only contest).
- For the 4-H Public Speaking Contest, the student must be enrolled in 4-H, and all speeches must be original & include 4-H as the major component of the speech. Winners advance on to the 4-H district level.
If you have any questions about the public speaking contest, please call the extension office at 402-267-2205.
Pre-registration forms, contest guidelines, and speech writing helps are on the Nebraska Extension Cass County website . Pre-registration forms are due April 13th.
