New Mexico State Speech & Debate Championship

The culmination of our local competitive season ends with the New Mexico State Speech & Debate Championship hosted at the La Cueva High School in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Students compete in their main Speech and/or Debate events in a traditional two-day tournament (State Congress is held during a different weekend). This means competitors will have preliminary rounds before breaking to additional elimination rounds featuring the top-performing students. The top-placing students in elimination rounds will receive awards. Unlike other tournaments, this championship will also recognize the top speaker in each debate event and a few special year-end awards (you can read about the State Award Descriptions here).
***Debate will have 2 prelims held ONLINE on Thurs after school.

This is a great final opportunity for students to compete locally this year and round out their season on the New Mexico circuit!

Registration is due no later than Wednesday, 2/5 at 4:00pm.
