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.

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