In Toastmasters, Table Topics and Evaluation Contests are two exciting types of contests that test different speaking skills:
1. Table Topics Contest
The Table Topics Contest is an impromptu speaking competition. Contestants are given a random question or topic on the spot and must deliver a 1-2 minute speech without any prior preparation. It challenges participants to think quickly, structure their thoughts on the fly, and speak clearly and confidently. This contest is a favorite because it tests both creativity and quick thinking in real time!
2. Evaluation Contest
In the Evaluation Contest, participants observe a test speaker who delivers a prepared speech. After the speech, contestants are given a few minutes to organize their thoughts and then each delivers a 2-3 minute evaluation of the speech. The goal is to provide constructive feedback, highlighting the speaker’s strengths and suggesting areas for improvement. This contest helps participants improve their analytical and coaching skills, as well as their ability to communicate feedback effectively.
Both contests help members sharpen critical skills: Table Topics builds impromptu speaking skills, while the Evaluation Contest enhances listening, analytical thinking, and feedback delivery. These contests also showcase the diverse talents within Toastmasters and encourage members to stretch their comfort zones. Only members can participate in the contest. Guests are welcome to enjoy the contest.
