Welcome to the HBCU Oratorical Challenge

About the Challenge

A program of the DreamHouse Foundation, the HBCU Oratorical Challenge is a prestigious platform designed specifically for students from Historically Black Colleges and Universities. This event provides an opportunity for students to showcase their oratory skills in four distinct categories: Prepared Public Speaking, Extemporaneous Public Speaking, Spoken Word Recitation, and Debate.

Participants will gain valuable experience in public speaking, critical thinking, and performance under pressure. This competition not only allows students to express themselves eloquently but also to engage with peers across different HBCUs, fostering a spirit of camaraderie and intellectual growth.
