Speech Contest Recording Policy(from TMI Speech Contest FAQ)

What are the rules regarding video or audio recording a speech contest?

If you wish to record a speech contest, all speakers or presenters must give their written permission to be recorded beforehand. Any speaker who refuses should not be recorded. Upon request, any speaker or presenter is entitled to one copy of the recording at no charge. Recording should not cause a safety hazard to any in attendance, nor should it be a distraction to a speaker or presenter.

During a district conference, recording of speakers and presenters may only occur with the permission of the Host District Chairman. Recordings of these events will be controlled by the Host District Chairman or his/her appointed representative. If one or more authorized Toastmasters provide recording services and tapes are made available for sale, the Toastmaster providing the services may be reimbursed only for expenses and may not profit from the recording nor charge for the use of equipment. Money from any recording sales must be deposited in the district account.
