Students must submit the results of an audiogram completed no longer than 24 months prior to the date of the contest by a qualified audiologist.

How To Enter: Contact your local Optimist Club. <\/p>\n

This contest offers a fun opportunity for children who are deaf or hard of hearing to present their thoughts in the community, gaining skills which can only come from signing or speaking to a large audience. Patterned after the Optimist Oratorical Contest, the Communication Contest For the Deaf and Hard of Hearing offers hearing impaired youth the chance to compete in speech or sign language. <\/p>\n

The Optimist International Foundation funds a $1,500 scholarship to any District that meets the minimum participation criteria. Nearly 300 clubs are actively involved with this program each year. The CCDHH Contest Planning pages are intended for use by Optimist Clubs in organizing and conducting a contest in their Club. They contain no information on entering the contest and are of no use to students wishing to enter the contest. To enter, you must contact your local Optimist Club! <\/p>\n
