  • A group opportunity. Invite your friends.

A local speech and debate club, WD40, will host its annual Continental Divide Challenge March 18-21, 2025 at Arma Dei Academy (341 East Wildcat Reserve Pkwy, Highlands Ranch, CO 80126). Over 150 middle school and high school students from across the country will compete in 12 different speech events, ranging from dramatic interpretation to current events analysis and original platform speeches, and three different styles of debate: Lincoln-Douglas, Team Policy, and Parliamentary.

We are searching for diverse volunteers to serve as judges at this tournament. No experience is necessary -- just the willingness to listen to the speeches and/or debates and to provide written feedback on ballots. There will be orientation sessions before each round to prepare judges and to answer questions.

Please consider investing in these students as they learn to communicate effectively and debate critically but graciously.

To honor your time and effort, we will offer our community judges complimentary snacks in our hospitality suite. And, if the timing works out after you're done judging, please enjoy a homemade lunch or dinner.

For more information about the Continental Divide Challenge or to register as a judge, please contact cdc.judges@gmail.com.
