The Morris Black Speaking Contest, established in 1971, is a long-standing annual public speaking competition for students passionate about Jewish identity, history, and values. Named after Morris Black, a respected community leader, this contest invites young speakers to develop their public speaking skills, share unique insights, and engage audiences. By promoting critical thinking and confidence in public speaking, the Morris Black Speaking Contest has empowered young voices for over 50 years. This legacy event offers an inspiring platform for students to express, inspire, and connect with the community.
Open to all Jewish students in grades 3-12 in Jewish and public schools in Hamilton and surrounding areas.
