“It was a delight to see children, as young as seven years, speak to adult audience with confidence, courage and commitment on their favorite topics”, said Chaudhry Sadiq, President, PICNA. Chaudhry went on to say that he would like to see these youth become community leaders, public representatives and scholars and make their communities, their faith and their nation feel proud of them.

The contestants were grouped into three levels - elementary, middle and high, and topics for these levels were:
- “Prophet Mohammed (peace be upon him) is my hero in life.”
- “I  proud to be a Muslim and I am proud to be an American.”
- “Challenges and opportunities facing Muslims in America.”
Imam Omar Shaheed, Imam of Masjid As-Salam, who was the Guest of Honor for the evening, applauded the participants for their hard work and commitment and praised the standard of their speeches. Cash prizes donated by PICNA - four positions in each category, were awarded to winners in the three levels and certificates were awarded to each participant.
