The Speaker Awards are our way of celebrating the talents of top class speakers who know how to engage and inspire people, whether online or face-to-face.
We created these awards to give a well-deserved standing ovation to those who work hard to share their knowledge and stories, making a real impact on their audiences.
It's not just an awards ceremony; it's a chance for speakers to connect, share experiences, and grow together in their craft, fostering a supportive community that values the art of speaking.
The Speaker Awards are all about celebrating excellence in speaking.
They're designed for speakers who stand out in their field, showcasing exceptional skills and delivering messages that truly resonate with their audience.
No matter your background or expertise, if you strive for excellence and impact in your speaking, these awards are for you.
It's our way of recognising and honouring those who elevate the art of speaking to new heights, inspiring others to do the same.
Our judges will be looking for speakers who excel on the virtual stage, delivering engaging talks, skillfully utilising technology, and leaving the online audience with a memorable experience.
We focus on the 2023/4 TEDx presentations by the speakers. The judging primarily centres around the originality and significance of the content, as well as the effectiveness in conveying the idea worth spreading.
You will be evaluated primarily on how effectively your showreel highlights your expertise and content, considering the visual aspect, technical quality, overall production, and professionalism.
This category is designed specifically for newcomer speakers in the year 2023/4. The evaluation will primarily consider how the submitted video showcases your expertise and content, with a focus on your delivery, emotive communication, audience engagement, and connection.
In this category, we focus on the live speaking event footage submitted by applicants. The evaluation considers your live delivery of content, delivery techniques, energy, emotive communication, audience engagement, and the establishment of a clear connection with the in-person audience.
