The American Association of University Women Del Mar-Leucadia Branch invites all local high school students to compete in Speech Trek, a speech competition sponsored by AAUW of California. Contestants create a 5-6-minute speech on the following public policy topic: “Has social media helped or hindered the breaking down of barriers for women and girls?” Deadline to apply is Dec. 21, 2020.
The local live virtual competition via Zoom will be on Jan. 21, 2021 at 6 p.m. when the local students will compete for these prizes: 1st place: $500; 2nd place: $300; 3rd place: $200. The winner of the local contest will participate in state semi-finals in April 2021. The top three state semi-finalists will compete for more cash prizes. Contact AAUW Del Mar-Leucadia Branch at speechtrek@aauwdml.org for more information and to apply for the contest. Videos of previous participants can be found by searching online for “YouTube Speech Trek 2020.”
