Mara Mazilu, Grade 9, won 1st place in the BEST foundation national tournament, category Original Oratory.

 

BEST Foundation is a non-profit non-governmental organization that organizes public speaking competitions in English and provides student leadership opportunities through its Student Leader Program.

 

BEST Foundation organizes 4 regional, 1 national and 1 international tournament each year with the aim of providing Bulgarian students a platform to express themselves and compete in public speaking. Students compete in 5 different categories at our events - Prose Interpretation, Poetry Interpretation, Duo Interpretation, Original Oratory, and World Schools Style Debate - across multiple rounds where they are ranked by trained judges and receive written feedback based on their performances.

 

Based on their ranks from the preliminary rounds, only a fraction of the students break to the semifinal and final round.

 

Join us in congratulating Mara Mazilu and celebrating her outstanding accomplishment!
