It's not a pipe dream - it's real.
And we can show you.
Step 1: Register your school
Until February 20
Complete the registration form below to sign up for the competition. You’ll receive an email confirming your registration, as well as a summary of the next steps.
Important! You will need to register the school to take part in the competition. All submissions will have to be matched to the original school's registration.
Step 2: Run your school's internal competition
Until 26 March
After we confirm your school's registration, you can start organising the speaking competition in your school with your Year 6 students.
- Students must give individual presentations on the topic: What would happen if animals could speak?
- Time: presentations should be limited to 2 minutes.
- Students can use support materials (slides, for example) but they will not be assessed in the competition.
You will need to select 1 winner to represent your school in the National Speaking Competition. Their presentation will have to be uploaded to YouTube on Unlisted Mode (instructions on how to do this in English and Spanish).
The submission window for sending the winning video from your school will be open from March 1 to March 27.
Take a look at the Frequently Asked Questions below for some useful resources for organising the competition, assessment criteria, letters to parents, etc.
Step 3: Submit your winner video & legal details
March 1 - March 27
In Cambridge we take data protection very seriously, especially when minors are concerned. This is why when submitting your winner's video and name, we will ask you to provide us with your school's legal details.
We will use them in a Data Transfer Agreement between your school and Cambridge to be able to view your student's video safely.
The submission window will be open from March 1 to March 27.
Remember that you will have needed to enter your registration earlier in the year, in Step 1.
