The C. Henry Smith Oratorical Contest is an annual, binational, intercollegiate speech competition. All Mennonite and Brethren in Christ colleges and universities across Canada and the U.S. are eligible to participate. Students' speeches focus on the application of the Christian peace position to contemporary concerns. The winning speech from each college enters the binational competition, where the top three orators receive cash prizes and scholarships toward peace-related conferences.
Mennonite Central Committee (MCC), a worldwide ministry of Anabaptist churches, shares God's love and compassion for all in the name of Christ by responding to basic human needs and working for peace and justice.
