Academic Competitions
FBLA’s National Awards Program, commonly called competitive events, recognizes and rewards excellence in a broad range of business and career-related areas. Through state-based competition at the spring State Leadership Conferences, members compete in events that test their business knowledge and skills. Top winners in Florida (actually in each state) are eligible to compete for honors at the National Leadership Conference each summer.
