The Annual Chanhassen Snowvitational Speech Tournament

December 21st and 22nd, 2019, Chanhassen High School, Chanhassen, MN

REGISTRATION DEADLINE: Monday, December 2nd, 2019

The Chanhassen Speech Team invites your team to the Chanhassen Snowvitation. We are excited to offer a tournament rich with awesome experiences for students and judges. We promise to make the weekend enjoyable for all, but we cannot promise snow (although it is likely). We will offer 4 preliminary rounds (single-flighted) with two judges in each preliminary round, so students will get a great amount of feedback from high-quality judges. On Sunday, we will have quarterfinals, semifinals, and finals where we will offer our new snow globe trophies. The judges will be treated to exceptional hospitality and students will be offered a myriad of meal opportunities (from healthy to not so healthy). We understand that this tournament falls outside the normal Minnesota speech season. It is really intended for Varsity speech members who are prepared for competition before January. We encourage you to bring novices to the tournament to observe the varsity competition. This tournament has a NIETOC bid opportunity too!
