District 57 Toastmasters is filled with creativity, connection, and contagious energy — and this year, your club can earn recognition for sharing that spirit! Three Public Relations Incentives give clubs the chance to shine while promoting the joy of Toastmasters.
All incentive details and submission instructions can be found on the D57 Incentive Tracker under Public Relations, or by contacting Somy at PRincentive [at] d57tm . org.
1. Club Newsletters — Share Your Club Story
Create and share three newsletters before April 30, 2026, highlighting your club’s achievements, members, and events.
Each newsletter must:
- Be written in English and include club contact information, meeting day/time, and location (with address if in person or hybrid).
- Be shared with Shalini (news [at] d57tm . org) for possible inclusion in the District newsletter.
- Receive approval from Somy (PRincentive [at] d57tm . org) to qualify for credit.
Tip: Space each issue at least two months apart and include photos to make your content shine!
2. Capture Club Joy — Show the Smiles and Spirit!
Take five high-quality photos that capture the fun, learning, and teamwork that define your club. Include the event name, date, location, and member names in each submission.
Share your photos across District social media platforms — Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, Meetup, the D57 website, Dispatch newsletter, and Nextdoor — and send proof to Somy for credit.
✨ Please note: Sharing only within your club newsletter does not qualify.
Photos should reflect club events aligned with the D57 vision, with a variety of members and moments featured.
3. Short-Form Video Challenge — One Minute of Fun!
Capture the energy and engagement of your meetings in a 50–59 second video! Submit your video to Hans (youtube [at] d57tm . org) for approval, then post it to the D57 Facebook group to earn credit.
Approved videos will be featured on the District 57 YouTube Shorts channel.
🏆 Awards are limited to the first 10 clubs or until December 31, 2025, whichever comes first!
Show your club’s voice, joy, and creativity — and get recognized for it!
