The Perrysburg Rotary Club is pleased to announce the 2026 Four-Way Test Essay and Speech Contests.

The contests will take place in early March, with winning presentations featured at our weekly meeting on Friday, April 10th.

We are working directly with Perrysburg High School (Speech), Perrysburg Junior High School (Essay), and Perrysburg St. Rose (Essay). Communication is already underway with school liaisons to identify contestants and finalize competition guidelines, rules, and schedules.

New for 2026:
The Perrysburg Rotary Club is expanding participation opportunities for both contests.

  • The Junior High Essay Contest will now include homeschooled students who have a parent who is a Perrysburg Rotarian.

  • The Speech Contest will now include students who are homeschooled or attend a high school other than Perrysburg High School, provided they have a parent who is a Perrysburg Rotarian.

    • Speech registration deadline: March 13

    • The speech competition will be held on March 21

    • For contest guidelines and details, please contact Ashley Lopez or Pete Allesee.
