#Nats20 Has Moved Online

Did you hear? We're taking the National Tournament online this year! We're also thrilled to offer the Middle School Speech Challenge and the Senior Open, a final tournament for the Class of 2020. Here are a few ways you can join us from home.

Offer To Judge

Our new Virtual Judging Board will help you get in touch with programs that need judges!

Watch Final Rounds

Mark your calendars for the week of June 14-20, then check back at live.speechanddebate.org for a full schedule of livestreamed rounds, award ceremonies, and other special events.

Help Students Get Needed Materials

This year, the the William Woods Tate, Jr., Fund will provide students with funding to pay for technology, internet access, or acquire other resources that will allow them a more equitable experience. Help us provide assistance to every student that needs it by donating today.

Follow the Action and Share Words of Encouragement

During Nationals, we share behind-the-scenes content, student interviews, and more. Follow along to relive your time in speech and debate! Plus, we encourage you to offer advice, inspiration, and other positive messages for competitors by sharing on social media! Use #WeAreSpeechAndDebate and tag us @speechandebate.

Speech and debate got a shoutout in The Washington Post! Supportive family members make such an impact on students, so take a moment to thank those who made your speech and debate career possible.
"This age-old school club is still as hot as ever, and the National Speech & Debate Association is a great way to discover types of debate and competitions."

Suit Up Anyway

The Archbishop Mitty Speech & Debate team started a social media challenge for teams missing rocking their suits every weekend. Find videos from multiple teams by searching #SDSuitUpAnywayChallenge, and if you want to participate yourself, tag us @speechanddebate!
