Speaking/Speach contest

Could you tell me what the difference is between "speaking contest" and "speech contest"? Also, I think 'English speaking contest' is okay while 'English speech contest' sounds awkward. Am I right?

I suppose that a speech contest would be giving prizes to the best speech submitted by the contestants. A speaking contest might be be an audition among contestants for those with the best voice for a particular acting role.
