Meet Your Judges for Brand Builder
Our panel of expert judges brings a wealth of experience in branding, media, entrepreneurship, and personal development. They will evaluate each speaker on storytelling ability, message clarity, transformative impact, stage presence, and entertainment value using our 100-point judging system.
Our competition features 10 speakers going head to head and heart to heart, to deliver an inspirational speech around a theme, with a chance of winning prizes valued up to $10,000 and the opportunity to move on to the Grand Slam to compete against the best speakers of the year for the title of Inspirational Speaker of the Year.
Our speakers have gone on to get paid speaking gigs, TEDx talks, book deals, press, documentaries, virality, create movements and events plus so much more. Best of all, they go and inspire schools, charities, and corporations with their messages.
