Students from across Manatee County recently competed in the 2026 Public Speaking Contest, presenting original speeches in front of judges and an audience at the Manatee Fairgrounds. During Tuesday’s luncheon, the top speakers in each grade category will share their speeches and receive their engraved plaques.

Bradenton Kiwanis is proud to sponsor this event alongside FPL and support these students as they build confidence in public speaking and leadership.
