15th Annual Lions Oratory Competition 200916 September 2009 Connie Chong, Andaleeb Akhand, Arjuna Dibley, Brendan Moloney, Chelsea Mullavey, Melanie Poole, Harriet Riley & Jennifer Zhu Master of Ceremonies and Contestants in the 2009 Lions Oratory Competition
In this year's Fifteenth Annual Lions Oratory Competition, student representatives from the ANU Colleges competed for the perpetual Oratory Trophy and prizes totaling $3,000 in cash. The objective of the competition is to give an opportunity to students to master and excel in the art of oratory by reading widely on subjects dealing with human values. To create interest in the study of the lives of great women and men who, often at enormous personal sacrifice, realise outstanding achievements which generations to come will emulate. These are people, including saints and sages from the whole world, who through their outstanding contributions enhanced the quality of life of all humanity. To cultivate in students the need for the great human values of truth, righteousness, peace, love and non-violence - the core of all major religions.
