Teen Contests:
Essay & Oratory Contests
Regional, State, & National


2022 Student Contest Info


The rules for states have changed!
A student does NOT have to place 1st or 2nd to participate in the State Oratory Contest. ALL students may enter the state competition by submitting a video of their talk.

SO, the Regional Oratory Contest is completely separate from the State Oratory Contest. But the winner of states does go on to the National Oratory Contest.

Student Essay & Oratory Contests

Novice (Grades 9 & 10) - 1st Place $150, 2nd $100, 3rd $50

All regional contestants may also be a contestant for the state
competition. Being a contestant for the regional competition
does not automatically enroll you in the state competition.
All students may enter the state competition
simply by submitting a video & written copy of their speech.

Congratulations go to Teresa Sicree from Centre County for winning 1st place at the state Oratory Contest in 2014. Teresa's 1st place prize was an all expenses paid trip to the National Right to Life Convention in Louisville KY where she represented PA at the National Oratory Contest.

Teresa is the first and only Oratory Contest winner from our region to win 1st place in the PA Pro-Life Federation State Oratory Contest!
I talked to Teresa on the phone a few days after the national competition. She was so thankful that she was able to go to the National Convention and compete in the National Oratory Contest. She was able to meet a number of national and inter-national pro-life leaders. It sounded like it was quite an experience for her.

Congratulations Teresa!!! And thank you for all your essays and speeches over the years. Read her speech:
In Denial by Teresa Sicree - 1st Place/2014 States Competition

Teresa also took First Place
in the 2011 National Right to Life
Pro-Life Junior High Essay Contest!


The title of her essay is My Generation’s Black Death.
Read it here! or on NRLC website!
Thank you Teresa for your fine work!

Congratulations, to all the past winners of the
Central PA Regional Oratory and Essay Contests!
You all did such a wonderful job!
