The competition, held starting every February, is open to all K-12 students who reside in Clay County.

The speech contest was held at the UF IFAS Clay Extension Center with Michele Hanson, David Theus and Angela Taylor-Minty as the judges. First Place winners in the Speech Contest each received $200. First Place winners in the Poster Contest each received $75 (K-1st and 2nd-3rd divisions); $150 in the 4th-6th, 7th-9th and 10th-12th divisions.
