Are contestants required to have completed a minimum number of manual speeches to participate in a speech contest?
The only speech contest with a minimum manual speech requirement is the International Speech Contest. To participate in any level of the International Speech Contest, a full member must have completed at least six speeches from the Competent Communication manual prior to the club contest. A charter member of a club chartered since the previous July 1 may compete without having completed six speeches in the Competent Communication manual. The club must be officially chartered before the area contest.
