INTENT TO COMPETE FORM

The information collected with this form will be used to determine which competitive events will be held at both the regional and state levels. It is extremely important to indicate all competitions you and/or your school would like to participate in.

NOTE: Not all events are not guaranteed to be offered at the Regional or State Conference. If there is not enough interest to hold a competition, then they may be offered as Direct to the State Conference or Direct to the National Conference, based on survey results.

Lead Advisor or Chapter Advisor

Each chapter is required to have a Lead Advisor that is in charge of registrations for the school, and also keep other teachers in your school apprised of deadlines and updates.
