Premiums will be paid The age divisions and time limitations shall be: Juniors (ages 8-10), Intermediates (ages 11-13) and Seniors (ages 14-18) contestants compete in one of the following categories: Prepared Speech This is the noble, existing, traditional category from past Missouri State 4-H Public Speaking Contests. Speeches should be 3-5 minutes long for Juniors, 4-6 minutes for Intermediates and 5-7 minutes for Seniors. Speeches may be on any topic of the participant s choice that are in good taste for a group of peers and adults. Note cards may be used. Extemporaneous Speech The speaker will draw three topics and select one that they will speak on. Each speaker will have 15 minutes to prepare their speech after the selection is made. Topics will be subjects that youth are familiar with, so no special research materials are required. Timing: Speeches are to be 3-5 minutes in length for Juniors, 4-6 minutes for Intermediates and 5-7 minutes for Seniors. Revolution of Responsibility (PSA) Create an audio or video public service announcement about Missouri 4-H that could be played on the radio or on television. Youth will introduce themselves and their PSA to the group, play the PSA, and answer questions from the audience. PSA s must be 60 seconds in length or shorter, created entirely by the contestant, and use the voice of the contestant. This can be a less threatening entry into the world of public speaking for youth who are anxious about speaking in front of groups. Interpretation Interpretations are to be memorized and take place without music or other external sound effects. Special makeup and clothing may be worn as the contestant deems appropriate to the content of the interpretation. Interpretation consists of three subcategories: Dramatic: An oral interpretation of a serious selection of narrative or dramatic work.

Pantomime: A physical and emotional interpretation. Source material may be original or inspired from other performers work. This is a natural fit for any youth in 4-H Clowning clubs! A helpful support material for this category is Making the Point Communicating through Pantomime.
