The Ngā Manu Kōrero Speech Competition began in 1965, and was first known as the Korimako Contest.
It was sponsored by the then Governor-General, Sir Bernard Fergusson – Lord Ballantrae. The aim of the Korimako Contest
was to encourage a greater command and fluency of spoken English amongst secondary
Māori students. In 2004, the National Ngā Manu Kōrero Speech Competition was hosted by the Manawatu – Horowhenua rohe at Palmerston North
