How old is the speech contest? [originaltext] The CTV annual speech contest i

The CTV annual speech contest is a prestige competition with a tradition going back twenty-five years.(74)The winner of the first competition, held in 1981, was Brian McAdams,(75) now a well-known television journalist and anchorman for CTV. We’d like to remind you that the highest standards will be expected of all contestants at all times. However, we’d also like to say that the benefits of participating are enormous even if you don’t win. A pre-competition round of selections will be held here next Monday— that’s June the sixth—beginning at 8:00 p.m. So, please fill in your entry form, and we’ll see you back here next Monday.(76)Thanks!
