If you're in Toastmasters for any length of time, there is a good chance you are going to have the opportunity to participate in a contest. You may even have the chance to be the Chairperson of said contest, perhaps by default because you're the division or area governor. I've been the Chair of at least three division contests and two area contests (and more than a few club contests), and in this article you're going benefit from this battle-proven experience to get over twenty five secrets for making your contest AWESOME. Some of these secrets I've applied from other leadership experience, and others I've learned the hard way. If you use these secrets, your contests will run on time, be much more fun (and thus attract more people), and let you sleep soundly, instead of panicing that something isn't in place.
