At the State Leadership Conferences, students compete in events testing their business knowledge and skills. Top state winners are then eligible to compete for national awards at the National Leadership Conference each summer.
There are more than 70 different competitive events you can choose to compete in, ranging from Digital Video Production and Word Processing to Accounting and Sports Management.
Each event is governed by specific guidelines and rating sheets that can be found on the National FBLA-PBL website and in the Maryland Competitive Events Guide below. Make sure you are using the most recent version of the guidelines to prepare for your competition.
Please review the Maryland Competitive Events Guide in conjunction with the National FBLA Competitive Events Handbook. The Maryland Competitive Events Guide provides eligibility guidelines for regional conferences and the State Leadership Conference, as well as guidelines and information for state specific events that are not offered on the National level. In most instances the Maryland Competitive Events Guide references the National FBLA Competitive Events Handbook, but there are a few exceptions that are outlined in the Maryland Competitive Events Guide.
Competitive events fall into three categories: individual, team, and chapter. Individual and team events focus on skills useful in leadership and career development; chapter events recognize overall achievement and performance in chapter management and growth.
