Another first for Zuriberg Toastmasters! A Novice speech competition. Six competitors brought out their best speeches and gave their best in a first of its kind club competition!
Six members, who had not yet reached Level 2, participated. Aaron Huánuco-Ramos, Alessandro Palese, Emilio Lella, Yesenia Cardozo, Joran Mambir, and Selin Guvenc all presented excellent speeches and gave the judges much to think about.
In the end, Selin was placed first, with Joran and Yesenia placing second and third.
Contest Chair, Anna Franzen, introduced them during the competition, and interviewed them while the ballots were being counted. Chief Judge, Richard Bruckner, organised the timers and ballot counters and oversaw the judging process.
Over the next few weeks, the club will slowly wind down towards the Christmas break. Which is a perfect time to start writing contest speeches for the upcoming International Speech Contest to be held on 14 January 2025. The contest will be held separately from the Evaluation and Table Topics contests to allow members to fully concentrate on the International Speech. We’d like to see as many members as possible participating.
