Humorous Speech Contest:
Speech Development is the way the speaker puts ideas together so the audience can understand them. Physical presentation of a speech carries part of the responsibility for effective communication. Contestants present a humorous speech that must be thematic in nature. Every speaker benefits from using humor. Learn how to begin a speech with a humorous story to get listeners’ attention, end a speech with a humorous story, use humorous stories and anecdotes throughout the body of your speech to emphasize points, incorporate jokes into presentations and prepare and present an entirely humorous speech. TM Pratibha Tiwari immensely contributed her role as the contest chair of the event. Well Done TM Pratibha.

Evaluation Contest:
Speech evaluations are a core element of the Toastmasters educational program and the feedback from evaluattors helps speakers improve their skills. An evaluator has several objectives when they deliver their evaluation. Their main focus is on the speaker. While the whole audience will benefit from the evaluation, it was the speaker who put in effort, and may be uncertain about how their speech was received. IUTM conducted the first ever online Evaluation Contest on 17th January 2021. TM Mohamed Asif volunteered the contest flawlessly as the Contest Chair. Well Done TM Asif.
