Here are three simple reasons why you should consider joining the Australasian Interschool Debating Championship 2021
World-Class Adjudication
We’ve roped in some of the world’s best adjudicators to share their best-kept secrets, techniques, and knowledge to propel your debate to the next level! To ensure maximum quality, we’ve also selected an adjudication core that will be delivering challenging, yet exciting new motions! This also means that you will get feedback on every single debate that you participate in on how to improve and what you could have done better.
2. Experienced Organising Committee
Delays will be minimal, and fun will be maximum.
3. International Certification
You'll be going up against like-minded debaters from every corner of the globe! Even if you don’t walk away with the grand prize, forging friendships with people from different countries is probably the next best thing. As we’re using Zoom throughout this tournament, you will have the option to communicate with people via audio and video too!
