Preparing for Competition

The Washington State FBLA Awards Program is a very exciting part of the FBLA year. Not everyone can go to the State Business Leadership Conference and take home an award. However, members can increase their chances by working with their advisers to ensure careful advanced preparation, adherence to all relevant guidelines and rules, and by following these tips:

Check the status of membership dues. Students wishing to compete must be paid members on or before February 15 of the current membership year.

Ensure that the entry forms are completed properly and submitted by the published deadline. This is the responsibility of the local adviser.

Check the current edition of the Washington State Business Leadership Competitive Event Guidelines. Make, or have competitors make, copies of the appropriate guidelines and rating sheets.
