Future Voices – Public Speaking & Presentation Challenge 2026 is a regional competition empowering the next generation of confident speakers and leaders. Open to Grade 11 & 12 school students and university undergraduates across the Kandy, Kurunegala, and Kegalle (3K) regions, the challenge provides a professional platform to develop public speaking, presentation, critical thinking, and leadership skills.

Bringing together over 300 participants from 30+ schools and 20+ universities and higher education institutions, the competition features three stages—Selection Round, Semi-Final, and Grand Final. The finalists will take the stage at Kandy AER Day 2026 on 5 September 2026, where they will present before distinguished educators, industry leaders, and invited guests.

Future Voices is more than a competition—it's a platform to inspire confidence, nurture talent, and shape the communicators and leaders of tomorrow.
