What is the order of advancement from one round to another?
All contests start at the club level. The club winner then advances to the area contest. The area contest winner advances to the division contest. The division winner advances to the district contest. The only contest that advances beyond the district level is the International Speech Contest. For the International Speech Contest, the district winner advances to the International Speech Contest Semifinals held at the International Convention. Winners of the semifinals compete in the World Championship of Public Speaking.
