About the Sejong Institute Speech Contest

The Sejong Institute Speech Contest is a special language competition that is organized yearly at every Sejong Institute across the world.

Every year, the Sejong Institute Foundation announces 2 topics for the Speech Contest. Contestants must choose one and write a speech on their chosen topic, no longer than 3 minutes. They must also send their speech to our teachers for review via e-mail.

On the day of the competition, contestants must perform their speech in front of our jury. After each speech, the judges ask the contestant 2 questions regarding the contents of their speech.

The grand prize is traditionally a free cultural study trip to South Korea. We also give out other prizes each year, such as scholarships and valuable gifts.
