Minnesota high school girls wanting to take part in the Speaking Proudly oratory competition must submit their applications during March, according to Sherie Wallace from the event’s steering committee.
The application form and full details are available at speakingproudly.org. Applications must be received or postmarked between March 1 and April 1.
The third biennial competition, Speaking Proudly 2023 will be June 17 at the State Capitol, and the three finalists will receive prizes of $2,000, $1,500 and $1,000.
This year’s topic, Securing “The blessings of Liberty” in Twenty-First Century America, “Encourages competitors to consider what the blessings of liberty are and how they can be protected and nurtured for all Americans,” Wallace said.
Speaking Proudly is a nonpartisan, nonprofit project of Metro Republican Women and is open to girls in grades nine through 12 (including Spring 2023 graduates) who reside in or attend school in Minnesota.
