What the club will do:
Step 1: For each contest period, have at least one club member give an inspirational speech, highlighting their own public speaking journey—and how Toastmasters has helped them.
Step 2: Video record the speech.
Step 3: Upload the video to the club’s Facebook Page or YouTube Channel.
Step 4: Link the video link
Step 5: Clubs immediately share their contest link in their club’s/members social media pages to request votes (Note: Clubs must share their contest link on the District 1 website, NOT the video on their Facebook/YouTube Page).
What the District will do:
- On a monthly basis the videos will be posted on our website
- The club whose video has the most votes will 1) be featured on the District website and social media, 2) receive special recognition at the District 1 Awards Banquet on August 11th, and 3) get to participate in a special district Facebook Live event.
- During the Banquet, the 2017-2018 district leadership will be asked to vote for the Best of the Best video of the three monthly winners.
