Contests
Two of the annual activities of all POWERtalk Clubs are the Speech Contest and the Writing Contest. These are
purely voluntary for all members. The winner at each Club advances to the Council competition, then Region, and finally International.
North Bay members frequently excel in these contests.
In 2014 Geraldine (Gerry) Lightfoot won
the Northeast Region Writing Contest for fiction, then placed second at the International level.
In 2010 Gerry Lightfoot won the
Northeast Region Speech Contest. In 2009 member Malcolm Park won the contest.

Other Events
POWERtalk also holds contests from time to time which encourage other forms of creativity, such as:
- an international slogan contest in 1999
- an international poster contest in 2001
- a competition to define ITC's new "FACE" acronym; in 2004; the winning
entry was "Face All Challenges Effectively - Join ITC!"
If writing is your interest, you will have ample opportunity to practice as you submit articles to our Council or Region
newsletters or even to our international website.
