State Contests

Each year MABPA offers 4 opportunities for students to earn scholarship money towards the National Leadership Conference. They consist of:

• State Pin Contest- the winning design is made into a pin for the upcoming National Leadership Conference
• Cover Contest- design the cover for our 2019 SLC program
• Writing Contest- students write an essay in response to a given topic
• Community Service Award - showcase the community service projects that your chapter participates in.

Each award offers $100 for first place, $75 for second place, and $50 for third place. See individual contest guidelines below for more details and for directions on how to submit.

Deadline to pre-submit all events is February 13.
