International public speaking competition

Applications are due December 17th, 2021

High school competition

Are you a student in the last 2 years of high school? It's time to prove your English communication and presentation skills.

LCC International University is an American style university based in Klaipeda, Lithuania providing a North American-style education, fully accredited, and the language of instruction is English. Being a truly international university where 70% of all students are international students coming from more than 50 different countries and two thirds of our professors are English speakers from the USA and Canada, LCC International University wants to promote intercultural dialog through the use of English as well as reward students who excel in their studies. 

LCC International University has partnered with schools in Eastern Europe and Central Asia since 2004 and we believe our university is a great place to continue education for many students. In this unpredictable year, and in our gratitude for the cooperation and partnership with schools and educational departments, LCC has decided to bring back the online International English Public Speaking Competition, as a way to motivate students to learn English well, since this international language opens a door to many opportunities for the future.

“Countless Precious Memories”

LCC was my home away from home for just a few days, but in that time I’ve made countless precious memories and met some of the most amazing people this world has to offer. I will be forever grateful to my roommates who welcomed me so warmly, to the staff who organized the competition and our trip to beautiful Lithuania, and to my opponents who made the competition so memorable and turned the competitive atmosphere into a warm and friendly one. Since my prize is one free semester there, see you soon, LCC!"
