Evaluation Contest
The evaluation contest encourages the development of evaluation skills, regarded as essential components in the Toastmasters education process. All members in good standing are eligible to enter. Current district officers, officers elect or appointee officers are ineligible to compete. A draw is held to decide the order of contestants.
A 5 to 7 minute speech will be presented to an audience containing the contestants. At the conclusion of the speech all contestants will leave the room and will have an additional 5-minute period to write notes. Then contestants must cease writing. Contestants will return singly in order of the draw, to present their evaluation.
Timing for evaluations is nominally 2 to 3 minutes. However contestants will be disqualified if they speak for less than 1 minute 30 seconds or more than 3 minutes 30 seconds.
