Your school is invited to participate in the 2021-2022 New Jersey Speech and Debate League Online Speech Festivals. These festivals are designed to provide students an avenue to develop and share their public speaking and performance skills in a convenient, educational, and fun way!

Students will receive recognition for their video submissions along with feedback from the evaluators! Teachers will also receive school recognition to display in their classroom, offices, or trophy cases!
