Four Way Test SPEECH Contest
The 2022-2023 Rotary Four Way Test Speech Contest is underway! The 2023 Mid-Level Contests will be held in February and March of 2023. Please see the list to the left. Students who advance from club level competitions throughout Rotary District 7390 will be assigned to one of three virtual Mid-Level Contests. Students will be contacted with the location and time. 
 
There is NO specific prompt for the 2022-2023 Four-Way Test Speech Contest. However, all speeches need to be based around the Rotary Four-Way Test. 
 
Up to two students will advance from each Mid-Level Competition to compete at the Finale during the Rotary District 7390 Conference in the Spring of 2023. 
 
 
What is the Four-Way Test? 
One of the world’s most widely printed and quoted statements of ethics is The 4 Way Test, which was created in 1932 by Rotarian Herbert J. Taylor. Adopted by Rotary in 1943, The 4 Way Test has been translated into more than a hundred languages and published in thousands of ways. It asks the following four questions of the things we think, say and do:

1. Is it the TRUTH?
2. Is it FAIR to all concerned?
3. Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?
4. Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?
 
 
How the Rotary District 7390 Four-Way Test Speech Contest Works
Contestants must currently be in attendance (in either grade 10, 11 or 12) at a public or private high school, charter school or home schooled within Rotary District 7390 (Adams, Cumberland, Dauphin, Lancaster, Lebanon, Perry or York County). No student may be a contestant in more than one club contest in any one year. More than one club may recruit contestants from a high school shared with another club. Nothing in our rules prohibits clubs from developing their own procedures, requirements, and/or guidelines for their contest. Contestant Entry Forms must be submitted before participation.
