Overview
The Coolidge Cup is a national invitational speech and debate tournament sponsored by the Calvin Coolidge Presidential Foundation. It is held in President Coolidge’s historic hometown of Plymouth, Vermont, and takes place each year during the week of the Fourth of July. More than $15,000 in scholarship prize money is awarded to the top finishers. We are pleased to say that the 2022 Coolidge Cup will be happening in person this year in Vermont. The competition days are July 2nd, 3rd, and 4th. (Competitors should treat July 1st and 5th as travel days.)
