Concours d’art oratoire

It is said that one of our biggest fears is public speaking. And what’s the best way to get over our fears and become more resilient and confident? By facing them head-on!
The Concours d’art oratoire is a public-speaking competition for youth in High School and CÉGEP 1 who are learning French in school. Students are tasked with writing and presenting an original three to five minute speech in French on a topic of their choice, which they submit in video format below.
Sec V and first year CÉGEP students (grades 11 & 12) who win their category advance to the National Concours in Ottawa, Ontario. There, they compete against Provincial Concours winners from across Canada for a chance to win scholarships to the University of Ottawa and other Canadian universities (some in excess of $20,000).
CPF’s longstanding French public-speaking competition is open to youth who are learning French in school. It’s a great way to celebrate their many hours of hard work and official language bilingualism in Canada
