San Rafael Chamber Youth Speech Competition
“What will the world look like in the next 100 years?”

One hundred years ago, when the San Rafael Chamber began, our world was extremely different.  There was limited technology (if any) and the world we live today in only existed in our imagination.  As we embark on a new year and decade, we are thinking about the next century and want to know what lies in YOUR imagination!  What are your predictions for the next 100 years?  What are your thoughts on technology, climate change, social media, AI, education?  If you have something to say, we want to hear it! 

HOW TO ENTER:

Please submit a 5-minute video of you giving a speech addressing this question - “What will the world look like in the next 100 years?”  Please also submit your speech in writing (700 words max) along with the attached entry form.  All required materials must be received by Friday, March 13 via email to julie@srchamber.com. If you do not receive a confirmation email within two business days, please email or call to make sure your entry was received.
