- Be part of a positive and encouraging experience
- Grow real-life skills while competing for cash prizes

Who This Is Not For
The iSpeak Tournament may not be the best fit for children and teens who:
- Do not want to participate in speaking activities
- Are not ready to practice in a supportive setting
- Prefer not to speak in front of others
- Are only interested in winning, not growing
- Are unwilling to follow the tournament format and guidelines
This tournament is designed for young people who are open to learning, growing, and using their voice in a positive way.
Why Now?
The best time to build confidence is early.
Before fear gets louder.
Before self-doubt takes over.
Before they start holding back what they really want to say.
At the iSpeak Tournament, children and teens have the opportunity to build speaking confidence now while their voice is still growing, their courage is still forming, and their belief in themselves can be strengthened in the right environment.
Through encouragement, practice, and the excitement of stepping into the spotlight, they learn how to express themselves, speak with confidence, and feel proud of who they are.
Because when young people learn to use their voice early, it can shape how they show up for the rest of their lives.
Registration is now open.
Give your child the opportunity to build confidence, speaking skills, and stage presence through iSpeak.
