// Re-posting this in its own thread, since it seems it's easy to miss things in the Cornucopia Trading Company thread.
The Cornucopia Trading Company
Exotic Goods and Money Lending
Speech Contest
On the 21th of Kythorn, the Church of Waukeen observes Brightbuckle, a High Festival including parades, wearing fine clothes, feasting and inspirational speeches. The Cornucopia Trading Company will mark this day by hosting a speech contest.
For fairness sake, all speeches shall be on the same topic: "The best method to make Cormyr a wealthier nation."
Speeches should be no longer than 10 minutes.
Contestants may only participate with one speech.
The speech does not necessarily have to argue for something that the speaker believes in.
While arguments and ideas are important, the most inspiring speech wins.
All questions and counter arguments of speeches will have to wait until after the contest. It is a speech contest. Not a debate.
The contest will be held at the Cornucopia Trading Company office at the Marsember Naval Docks on the 18th of Kythorn.
To participate, please sign your name below.
Prizes
First prize: 25,000 Lions and 5% interest rate deduction on any loans for one year.
Second prize: 5,000 Lions and 5% interest rate deduction on any loans for one year.
Third prize: 1,000 Lions and 5% interest rate deduction on any loans for one year.
Contestants:
// I'm not going to be too picky with the maximum 10 minute limit. It's more of a guideline.
// We'll start around: 4 PM US Eastern, 9 PM London time, 10 PM Central European Time. Here's a link to a handy countdown. Or here to compare with your time.
