Contest Scripts

These are official District 55 Contest Scripts and are intended to be used at all contest levels. When more than one contest is being held at a contest event, appropriate modifications can be made to the Toastmaster scripts to transition from one contest to another. Contestant interviews are to be conducted only after the last contest has concluded.

Presiding Officer
This can be the Contest Chair, the Club President for a Club Contest, Area Director for an Area Contest, Division Director for a Division Contest, or District Director for a District Contest.
