Original Oratory
Welcome to OO!
Event Description:
Original Oratory is a speech event based around persuasion. Topics vary widely and can range from meatloaf to the definition of success. Because this is a public address, orators generally will speak in front of a judge as well as their opponents. Speeches are most often formatted as a 5 paragraph paper would be. However, only 150 words may be quoted from other sources. Orators will then be given 10 minutes with a 30 second grace period to deliver their memorized speech. The primary focus of original oratory persuading the public to do something or to take a side on an issue.
