DUtama TM: Evaluation Contest 2008/09

D'Utama Toastmasters Club conducted their Speech Evaluation Contest on 21st August 2008 at Kolej Damansara Utama (KDU), Room 1.08 and boy what a fantastic contest that was. The club had ten (10) participants and they all perform remarkably in their own rights.

The Organizing Chair and Contest Chair was Toastmasters Marcus Loi who lead the meeting orderly with full of energy and laughter (one would have imagined that we were actually attending the club's Humorous Contest that is to take place on 4th September 08). He proceeded to explain the contest and house rules such as:

House Rules
- To TURN OFF or SILENT all audible making devices such as mobile phones. It may distract the speaker or contestant.
- There is to be NO FLASH photography. It may distract the speaker or contestant.
- There would be a ONE MINUTE SILENCE to between contestants to allow the judges to mark their scores/ballots.
- No one is allowed to walk around the room, or enter/exit the room while the contestants are speaking. The audience may exit/enter the room during the one minute silence. The Assistant Sergeant-at-Arms (ASA) would be guarding the doors to ensure that.

(Evaluation) Contest Rules
- ELIGIBILITY: the contestant must be a Toastmasters member in good standing
- TIME: The GREEN LIGHT will be on at TWO MINUTES (2:00), AMBER LIGHT will be on at TWO MINUTES THIRTY SECONDS (2:30), and the RED LIGHT will be on at THREE MINUTES (3:00) and remain on till the contestant stops speaking. There will be no bell or notification of overtime. The contestant that speaks LESS THAN ONE MINUTE THIRTY SECONDS (1:30) or MORE THAN THREE MINUTES THIRTY SECONDS (3:30) will be DISQUALIFIED.
- SPEAKING AREA: A speaking area is designated and the contestants is advised to remain in that area. If the contestant steps out of the speaking area, marks may be deducted by the judges (does not warrant disqualification).
(The complete Contest Rule book may be downloaded here --> click here)


Flow of the Contest
(1) A Test Speaker will present a speech for five(5) to seven(7) minutes from any project from the Competent Communicator manual.
(2) After the speech is presented, the contestants are escorted to a waiting room where they are given five(5) minutes to prepare their evaluation.
(3) Once the five(5) minutes is up, the contestants are to surrender their written evaluation to the ASA and wait for their respective turn to present.
(4) When it's the respective contestant's turn, the ASA would return that contestant's written evaluation and escort him/her to the contest room.

Our speaker Loghandran Krishasamy wowed the audience of 1600 people with his captivating speech “Rhythm Of Life” and was announced as the 1st runner-up. This is the highest honor in international speech contest ever achieved by any Toastmasters in District 51 history.
