My Dear  BTMC-ers, My Fellow Toastmasters,

As a Toastmaster tradition, around the month of February every year, every Toastmaster club in the world holds its International & Table Topic Speech Contest. The purposes of holding this contest are to provide a platform for speakers to improve their speaking abilities and to recognize the best encouragement to all, and to provide an opportunity to learn by observing more proficient speakers who have benefited from Toastmasters training.

Therefore, we encourage all BTMC members to participate in this contest as contestants. Don't be nervous...don't be scared... Just like in any competition, there will always be those who win and those who do not win. But the most important aspect of this competition is to use this platform to challenge your communication and English skills at a different level. And in the end...whether winning or losing...you will have won over yourself. On top of that...remember that if you decide to participate in this contest, you can ask for a special mentor, who is a more experienced Toastmasters, to assist you with your contest preparation. So...don't be afraid and don't think that you are on your own. ^_^

The eligibility requirement is as the following:

1. Must be a member in good standing (has dues and membership application current with Toastmasters International by the day of the competition)
2. Currently is not in position as incumbent international officers and directors, or district officers
3. For Table Topic, any BTMC member in good standing can participate EVEN if you have not delivered your BM 1 (Ice Breaker) speech
4. For International Speech, the BTMC member interested in participating must have completed at least BM 6 (Vocal Variety) prior to the day of the club speech contest

So, my Dearest BTMC-ers, my Fellow Toastmasters, what are you waiting for? Show me that you are not an "average" person. Show us that you have the "guts" to do it!

For further information about this contest and to apply for this contest, please contact your Contest Chairman, Shabrina Mukhlasianti at shabrinanina@gmail.com OR 0856 2288934.
