Dear Colleagues:

The Minnesota Collegiate Forensics Association Executive Committee invites you to attend the annual Minnesota State Intercollegiate Speech and Debate Championship Tournament to be held February 16-17, 2024 at Concordia College, Moorhead in Moorhead, Minnesota! Please note that this is a Friday-Saturday tournament.

This tournament is open to any Minnesota community college, college, or university. Additionally, new this year, the MCFA Executive Committee would like to extend an invitation to schools in states neighboring Minnesota: North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa, and Wisconsin. All eleven of the AFA events, plus Parliamentary Debate will be offered. In addition to determining a tournament champion in each event, the tournament will crown the highest finishing competitor from a Minnesota school as state champion. We will also name tournament and state champions in individual and team sweepstakes. Minnesota schools will also use the tournament as the state qualification tournament for the Interstate Oratorical Contest while non-MN programs can still compete in Persuasive Speaking. The two top finishers in oratory will represent Minnesota at the IOA tournament in April 2024. You will find all the necessary details for the tournament in this invitation. We will also be conducting our Spring 2024 MCFA Business Meeting. You can view the full invitation here.

Your MCFA Executive Board is working hard to prepare an excellent weekend of competition and cordiality. If you have any questions feel free to contact us. 

We look forward to seeing everyone in February!
