- Registration for competitions and conferences is a two-step process. First, you must be registered as a member or advisor and then you register for the competition or conference.
- For the district and regional competitions, your school does not have to be in that particular district to attend.
- Students can register for more than one contest at a competition as long as each contest is in a different category (occupational, technical, leadership) and logistically the combination of the contests works within the available timeframe. Some contests will take the entire time and more than one contest just won’t be an option.
