The World Championship of Public Speaking began in 1938 and has grown to over 50,000 participants in 149 countries in 2022. In its early decades, it was referred to as the Toastmasters Speech Contest.[1] By the 1990s, there were about 10,000 participants every year.[2] The contest's popularity grew rapidly in the 2000s.[3] The contest has been called the "largest speech contest in the world" by Daijiworld.[4]
