Dear Speech and Debate Coach,

The Bulgarian English Speech and Debate Tournaments Foundation (BEST), in conjunction with the Yoah Ekzarh Foreign Language High School in Vratsa, invites all high school students to register now for the BEST West Regional Speech and Debate Tournament of the 2016-2017 season. At this tournament, students come together - in and out of region - to start off the speech and debate year at our first tournament.

The tournament will be held 19-20 November 2016 at Yoah Ekzarh Foreign Language High School in Vratsa.

This competition will be a challenging, engaging, and fun opportunity for students to practice their public speaking and argumentation skills in English, as well as meet other motivated students from around the country.

Students can compete individually in the following events: Prose, Poetry, or Oratory. They can also compete in teams of two in Duo or teams of three in World Schools Debate. Detailed explanations and rules for each event are outlined in the Events Overview page. Participants are divided into Novice (Grades 8 and 9) or Varsity (Grades 10, 11, 12) divisions. Winners will receive medals, certificates, and local media publicity.

Please browse through the informational pages on this website (links available at the top of the page) for more information.  Please note, the dress code for competitors is business casual.

Please register your students through the SpeechWire website. Registration will close on November 7, 2016 at 11:59 PM. Please note that we should receive all your supporting documentation by this date. Please direct any questions to teambestbulgaria@gmail.com.

We look forward to seeing you and your students in Vratsa!
