Oratorical Contest

The American Legion Oratorical Contest exists to develop deeper knowledge and appreciation for the U.S. Constitution among high school students.

Young orators earn some of the most generous college scholarships available to high school students. Over $138,000 in scholarships can be awarded each year.  High school students under age 20 are eligible. Competition begins at the post level and advances to a state competition. 

Speaking subjects must be on some aspect of the U.S. Constitution, with some emphasis on the duties and obligations of citizens to our government. Speeches are eight to 10 minutes long; three- to five-minute speeches on an assigned topic also are part of the contest.
