Inspire Like Churchill

2022 Churchill Speaking Contest

The International Churchill Society is pleased to announce the 2022 Inspire Like Churchill speaking competition. This year’s contest coincides with the 82nd anniversary of Winston Churchill’s “Blood, toil, tears, and sweat” speech and asks students from around the world to invoke the spirit of Britain’s wartime Prime Minister by writing and recording on video an inspirational speech that responds to current global challenges.

The competition is open to students anywhere in the world between the ages of 11 and 21. Students can enter as individuals or as part of a team of up to three people. Entries must be in the form of a video no longer than 60 seconds and submitted online.

Entries will be judged by a panel that includes members of the Churchill family as well as leading experts and historians. There will be three first prizes of $1,000 with the money to be equally divided between the entrants and their school, college, or university. The closing date for the competition is 1 July, and the winners will be announced on 25 July.

Don’t miss your chance to show the world your own inspirational skills in uncertain times.
