Four-Way Test Speech Contest
The Four-Way Test Speech Contest
The Clubs of Rotary District 7360 are holding speech contests at the Club, Region, and District levels in the spring of 2025.
The purpose of the Four-Way Test is to foster the principles of ethics in everyday life as well as in business. The Speech Contest is designed to introduce high school students to Rotary and the Four-Way Test by creating interest through a competitive speech contest sponsored by their local Rotary club.
The Four-Way Test:
Of the things we think, say, and do:
Is it the truth?
Is it fair to all concerned?
Will it build goodwill and better friendship?
Will it be beneficial to all concerned?

The speech should be about how to apply the Four-Way Test to a part of everyday life. There are many speech examples online.
The Club winners will compete in a Regional Contest, and the Regional winners will compete in the Finals at a District event held in May. The District winner will receive $2000, the second place participant will receive $1000, and two runners-up will each receive $500.
