Junior Oratorical Contest

The Junior Oratorical Contest was begun in 2005. That year, the contest was the first one sponsored by Post 281, and the first one of its kind in the state. The purpose of this new contest is to develop knowledge and understanding of the Constitution of the United States, and to promote interest in the high school oratorical contest. Contest winners each received a U.S. Savings Bond.

Jr. Oratorical Contest Winners
The Junior Oratorical Contest was not held in 2000.
We hope to offer this contest again in the future. Please contact Post 281 or your middle school guidance department for full information on the 2010 Junior Oratorical Contest.
