Dear Alum,

The 2018 National Tournament was one for the books! Catch video recaps, tournament results, and more below.

Final Round Performances

The 2018 final rounds were phenomenal! If you missed the livestream, you can still view performances at www.speechanddebate.org/live.

We heard some powerful messages from this year's finalists, both on and off the stage. Don't miss behind the scenes interviews with the high school finalists on our Instagram page!

Communicator of the Year Award

The High School National Awards Assembly began with a musical performance that paid tribute to the power of student voices.

Following the performance, the 2018 Communicator of the Year Award was given to the student voices of Broward County and accepted by the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School speech and debate team captains.

What's Next

We often hear from alumni who graduated long ago that they never miss the final round livestream. If you tuned in, followed along on social media, or reflected on your time in speech and debate, thank you! You'll always have a home in our community.

Stay tuned! Next year we return to Dallas for the 2019 National Tournament. The countdown begins...
