Now in its 22nd year, the Saint John Chrysostom Oratorical Festival is an annual speech competition that is open to Orthodox youth in junior or senior high school. The purpose is to give our youth an opportunity to learn, write and speak about their Orthodox Faith, Church and Heritage. Which strengthens their understanding and appreciation of their identity as Greek Orthodox Christians and cultivates spiritual growth and maturity. An Oratorical Festival Foundation provides college scholarships to 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place speaker finalists in each division (in the amounts of $2,000, $1,500, and $1,000), and $500 U.S. Savings Bonds to all other national finalists. The overall Oratorical program is called an Oratorical Festival rather than a contest to minimize the competitive spirit and emphasize a joyful learning experience. Since 1983 the Oratorical Festival has provided thousands of teenagers the opportunity to discover the fullness of the Orthodox Faith! 2007 Oratorical Festival Topics 2005 Oratorical Festival Topics
