= International Public Speaking Competition = The International Public Speaking Competition is a yearly public speaking competition organised in 54 different countries by the English-Speaking Union (ESU). The competition happens globally with the finals happening in London. By its scale, it is the biggest public speaking competition in the world with over 1 million participants taking part in the 2018-2019 competition. The competition was first organised in 1980.

The national side of the competition is organised by the local branch of the ESU or by local partners in the region. The world finals take place during May each year in London, usually at Dartmouth House during a week long competition including masterclasses (including one at the Globe Theatre), speeches and visits of London. The competition is supported by HSBC, allowing the grand final to take place in the global HQ of the bank, in Canary Wharf.
