The 2021-2022 Oratorical is sponsored, in part, by Beaver Toyota
and Northside Hospital Forsyth.

The two Forsyth County Optimist Clubs are honored to conduct an annual oratorical contest. This program is offered to all Forsyth County students in grades 5 through 12. Students create and present a speech based on a specific topic. The 2021-2022 topic is “Staying Optimistic in Challenging Times”.

For sometime our program has been the largest Optimist Oratorical in the world.

We are grateful to the parents, school coordinators and principals for their participation and support in helping us bringing out the best in our kids.

The two Middle/High School Forsyth County winners will each receive $500 and advance to the Zone contest. The Zone Contest winners were announced on March 24th and posted on our Facebook Page. https://www.facebook.com/scocga
