Virginia Tech Student Affairs and the Virginia Tech Cultural and Community Centers present the 2019 MLK Oration Competition on Thursday, January 24, 2019 at The Cube at the Moss Arts Center at Virginia Tech.
The Virginia Tech Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Oration competition began in 2018 to mark the 50th anniversary of Dr. King’s death. This competition is for those who love justice, advocacy, and performance. It is a celebration of self-understanding, integrity, and courageous leadership.
The Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was an exuberant and intellectual speaker. His distinct language and style made him one of the greatest orators in U.S. history. His speeches were crucial to catalyzing investment, action, and justice during the Civil Rights Movement.
With the craft and sophistication of Dr. King in mind, the two-stage oration process includes writing, memorizing, and performing a speech. This competition includes monetary awards.
All Virginia Tech sophomores, juniors, seniors, and graduate students are encouraged to apply for this competition, with four top prizes of $500.00.
Admission is free and open to the public.
The MLK Oration Competition is part of Virginia Tech’s celebration of Dr. King’s life and legacy.
The MLK Oration award is graciously funded by Virginia Tech Student Affairs.
