The National Individual Events Tournament of Champions will bring the nation's best and brightest students and teachers in Oral Interpretation and Oratory together to participate in a Tournament of Champions.

The TOC will provide students exposure to a diverse group of performers and literature from the nation's best and brightest in Oral Interpretation and Oratory. This event will provide renewal for teachers with guided workshops, networking opportunities with programs nationwide, and strategies for increasing student achievement.

We will also offer the supplemental events of Prose and Poetry. Champions in Main Events and Supplemental Events will receive scholarships. The Josephine Mamie Dukes Outstanding Teacher Award will also be presented to an outstanding Coach.

Students MAY DOUBLE ENTER in main events. If they do not advance to a main event semifinal round, they MAY DOUBLE ENTER in supplemental events.

The NIETOC is designed to give competitors an amazing competitive experience, with its student centered schedule and competitive cost and minimal judge requirements.
