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 2023 SLC program/landing page

  • 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.

The deadline to submit the pin, cover, writing, and community service contests is Wednesday, February 1, 2023.
