2026 Northeast Challenge

Thank you for your interest in judging at our tournament. We appreciate your support!

Note: If you already have a StoaHub account, please log in before registering. Otherwise, the system may create a duplicate account and your registration may not be recognized.

WHAT
Please join us as a VOLUNTEER JUDGE at our SPEECH AND DEBATE TOURNAMENT! Listen to Christian homeschooled students give speeches or debates and provide written feedback.  No prior experience with speech or debate needed.  Any adult 18 and over can judge.

WHY
12-18 year olds need someone like you to invest in their lives by hearing what they have to say. Help inspiring communicators of the next generation by volunteering as a judge!

WHEN
Friday and Saturday, April 10-11, 2026

Participation requires about 3 1/2 hours, which includes training, listening to debates or speeches, writing feedback for the speakers, and refreshments.

WHERE
Calvary Bible Church, 144 Readington Rd, Whitehouse Station, NJ 08889

WHO
This event is hosted by City On A Hill Speech and Debate Club in New Jersey. We help Christian students find their voices to speak boldly.  We welcome and value judges with diverse backgrounds and beliefs.

Feel free to invite other friends or family members to be judges.  Having a lot of volunteer judges helps our tournament!  Children are welcome, too, if they quietly listen to speeches.
