October 6-7, 2023 

The John R. Park Debate Society invites your team to attend the thirteenth annual Beehive Bonanza, October 6th and 7th, 2023 on the University of Utah Main Campus in Salt Lake City, Utah. The tournament will feature Student Congress, all three styles of NSDA debate (policy, Lincoln-Douglas, and public forum), and eight IE events (dramatic interp, humorous interp, duo interp, extemp (combined), oratory, informative, programmed oral interpretation, and impromptu). 

We hope the Beehive Bonanza will become one of your favorite tournaments of the season. We will be offering $1000 partial scholarships to top finishers in Lincoln-Douglas, Public Forum and Policy Debate who attend the University of Utah and join the John R. Park Debate Society.

If you have any additional questions about the tournament, email us.
