Junior Competitors ages 8-11 (or 12 if their birthday is after October 1, 2025 per Stoa eligibility requirements) will be able to compete in Platform, Interp, Duo, Impromptu, and Apologetics. There will be no Junior Script Submission, and no Junior speech length requirements. Events may be dropped or combined (interps) if entry numbers do not fill adequately.
While our schedule is subject to change, we anticipate two rounds of junior competition, which will be held on Wednesday afternoon during speech outrounds. Current Stoa competitors are welcome to judge if their competition schedule allows, if they are over 14 or have competed for more than one year in Stoa. Junior Awards will be given at completion of the tournament during the awards ceremony on Wednesday evening.
