Compete from Anywhere

These events are perfect for students who want to compete nationally but can’t attend in person due to budget or school limitations. All competition submissions are online. Top entries will be invited to showcase their work live at the National Leadership Conference (NLC).
Deadline for Registration: January 12, 2025 11:59 pm E.T.

NLC National Showcase
Finalists from the Virtual Competitions are invited to participate in the NLC National Showcase. This is your chance to present your project in person and compete for “Best in Show.”
National Showcase Guidelines
- Competitors or teams will present their projects at assigned tables.
- Internet access will not be available.
- Power will not be provided—make sure your devices are fully charged.
- The highest-scoring entry in each virtual event will be named “Best in Show.”
Note: “Best in Show” results are announced at the end of the National Showcase, not during the Grand Awards Ceremony. This recognition is separate from overall contest rankings—placing in judged events does not guarantee a “Best in Show” award.
