This year, the Asynchronous Speech Championship
wants to celebrate the top novice competitors from across the country through
something we’re calling the National Novice Team.
Intended to highlight the newer team members
whose accomplishments might not yet manifest in competitive success, this team
shines light on the novice members who show passion for speech and make up the heart
of the team.
For those interested in applying, novice
competitors should complete the simple application through the link provided by
March 1st, 2025. These applications will undergo an initial screening process.
Most significant from this process for you is no more than two members of any
given team will be considered in the final screening process, though we
encourage all interested first year competitors to apply. Up to 20 novice
competitors will earn a spot on the National Novice Team.
Student applications are due March 1, 2025.
