Chrysostom Oratory Contest

For ACCS Member Schools

Grand Prize: $500. Runner Up: $500 | See past winners and their videos.

Students from ACCS-member schools can compete with their peers from other ACCS member schools for the opportunity to make an oratorical presentation at the annual ACCS conference.

The first-prize winning student will present their speech at the annual conference. The student will receive an all-expense-paid trip to the conference for the winner, one parent, and one friend. Additional prizes may be awarded depending on conference venue.

Member schools may enter one male and one female student. Students must be juniors or seniors. Previously, only one entry per school was allowed.
