On Zoom in time zones around the world, in May 2025
Welcome!
We’re really excited to welcome you to the third year of the International Oratory Festival, an online celebration of speech and drama … Do you love words? Do you like to meet new people from around the world? Do you like to think differently? If you do, you’ve come to the right place!
Our 2025 Oratory Festival
We’ll be releasing our 2025 syllabus soon, featuring exciting options across Poetry Recital from memory, Your Original Poetry, Prose Reading, Solo Acting, Public Speaking and Live News Report.

Last year's syllabus
If you’d like to explore all the options from our 2024 Festival, you can still download last year’s syllabus as a PDF.
Hold your own Oratory Festival in your school
This year, we’re excited to offer a new option for schools around the world. We can work with you to help you hold your own Oratory Festival!
Using our experience from our first few years of the International Oratory Festival, we can design a bespoke syllabus for your Festival. You can take your pick of our poetry, prose, acting, public speaking and news options. And we can deliver teacher training and pupil workshops to help you excel as orators.
Our expert adjudicators can help judge your Festival either via Zoom or (for schools in the UK) in person. Depending on when you want to hold your Festival, we can also explore options for linking you up with another school’s Festival elsewhere in the world.
All your students will receive a full adjudicator’s report and special certificate to celebrate their achievement.
