Sixteen of the top high school speech and debate students from across the country will compete for their share of $50,000 in scholarship money as well as the right to be named “The Next Great Communicator.” Audience members don’t just get to watch the debate, they have an opportunity to cast a ballot for the national champion. Who best embodies the Ronald Reagan spirit of powerful communication, passion, wit, and wisdom?
