The challenge to the speaker is to present well-developed material which has the primary intent of informing, although persuasive elements may be present.  The speech is to be coherent, unified, and clear.  A range of support materials and devices are to be used which can include quotations, statistics, examples, comparisons, and analogies.

Rules:
1) The speech must be original with the participant.
2) Auxiliary visual materials are not permitted.
3) Maximum time limit is 4 minuets.  A 30 second grace period is allowed.
4) The use of one 4 x 6 note card is optional.
5) The use of a speaker's stand is optional
