Martin Sorensen Prize for Best Speaker in the Tournament

The Best Speaker Award was first given in 1989. In 1994, it became the "Martin Sorensen Best Speaker Prize" in honour of the well-liked Monash University debater who died only days after winning the award for the second time. It is awarded to the debater with the highest total sum of speaker scores in the preliminary rounds of competition.
