You don't need to use the word "contest." The word "debate" is already a noun and serves the purpose.
Yes, delete "contest"!!
When starting a class debate contest or any kind of debate event, there are multiple ways to phrase your announcement or invitation. It is not necessary to use all the directions mentioned in your examples, but you can certainly choose one or combine them to create a clear and concise statement.
Here are a few ways you can phrase the announcement:
1. "We are going to start the debate."
2. "The debate will be held soon."
3. "Let's begin the debate."
In these examples, the word "contest" is not necessary, but it can be added if you want to emphasize the competitive nature of the debate. Adding or deleting the word "contest" is a matter of personal preference and depends on the context and tone you want to convey.
Remember, when making announcements or invitations, it is important to be clear, direct, and concise. Ensure that your audience understands the purpose and nature of the event and provide any necessary details or instructions.
