The Concours d’art oratoire is a French-speaking competition for high school students throughout the province. Students write an original three to five minute speech on a topic of their choice, which they present in front of a panel of judges, their parents and their peers.
Secondary 5 students 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).
