    CONTEST MASTER SCRIPT - INTERNATIONAL SPEECH CONTEST

    Good Morning everybody!


    Welcome to the Club Level International Speech Contest at Koramangala Toastmasters.
    I am Vaibhav, your contest master for today.

    The purposes of the International Speech Contest are:


    1. To provide an opportunity for speakers to improve their speaking abilities.
    2. To recognize the best as encouragement to all.
    3. And, to provide an opportunity for us to learn by observing the more skilled speakers
    who have benefited from their Toastmasters training.

    We will conduct this contest using the same procedure as Toastmasters International uses in
    conducting the International Speech Contest.

    The first and second place winners will represent our Club at the Area Contest in February
    2020.

    I shall now read out the International Speech Contest rules for the audience in brief:

    1. Speech timing is 5- 7 minutes. Any contestants who speaks less than 4 min and 30 sec
    and beyond 7 min and 30 sec will be disqualified.

    2. Timing will begin with the contestant’s first definite verbal or non-verbal communication
    with the audience, such as sound effects or a stage act.

    3. The timing device is right in front, and I would request timer to operate the device as I
    read out the timing signal rules.

    4. At 5 minutes, a GREEN CARD will be shown and will be kept till 6mins, after which the
    timer will change it to an AMBER CARD and will be kept till 7 minutes after which a RED
    CARD will be shown. The timer will continue to hold the red card till the speaker stops
    and no hint will be there if you have overshot the allotted time.

    5. There will be one minute of silence between each contestant and two minutes silence
    after the last contestant, during which the judges will mark their ballots.

    6. Prior to announcing results, it will be announced if any time disqualification occurred,


    however, no names will be mentioned.

    7. The Chief Judge for today’s contest is TM V Subramanian


    8. Protests will be limited to judges and contestants only, and must be lodged with the
    Chief Judge or the contest chair prior to the announcement of the winners. Once the
    results are announced there will be no change.

    9. Each contestant will be introduced in the following manner:


    Contestant Number, Contestant Name, Speech Title ----- Speech Title, Contestant
    Name

    We have ______ contestants competing today. The contestants have drawn the speaking order.
    For benefit of Judges, Role players and audience, I will now read out the speaking order of
    contestants. (write down the names of each contestant):

    interval, or after the contest.

    for those who have requested the Contest Chair / Chief Judge.
    (If any contestant has requested video recording, please mention the
    same. If not, declare that no contestant has requested video recording)

    4. Kindly ensure all electronic devices such as mobiles, tablets, are switched off or
    turned to silent mode. (Will give 5-6 seconds to do this)

    The judges, contestants, functionaries, and sergeants-at-arms have been fully briefed on
    the rules.

    The contestants have been informed of the location of the timers. (Point to the timers).
