Welcome to the DAV Website
The DAV is a non-profit association which exists to promote debate. It
is the peak debating body in Victoria and runs large competitions for
adults and for schools across Victoria. It provides training and
resources for debaters, teachers and adjudicators.
Following the astounding success and the amazing enthusiasm of debaters at our 3-on-3 tournament, the President's Cup, the DAV brings you MORE DEBATES in the form of the DAV-Mini!
This British Parliamentary Tournament will run across the full day on Saturday, September 7 (10am-5pm), with 3 debates and a finals debate.
The tournament registration will include catering throughout the day and drinks afterwards! For DAV members, it's $30, if you're not a DAV member it's $35. If you want to adjudicate, it's free! Registration for both adjudicators and debaters is open now, and closes at 5pm on Monday, September 2.
This competition is aimed at novice or beginner debaters to test their skills - all experience levels are welcome for a friendly day of debating. Please follow the registration links below to participate - you may register as an individual in a team, or by yourself - in which case you will be allocated to a team.
