List of Competitive Events
The table below displays all the FBLA competitive events; its purpose is to display which events one can choose from. In order to make your decision, please fill out the google form here
Useful Notes:
- (I) means an individual competition, while (T) indicates a team competition. (C) indicates a chapter competition, i.e. an event where the FHS FBLA chapter as a whole, not just a person or people, competes.
- Some competitions will allow either individual entries or team entries. Team entries should have up to three people each.
- The Current Number of Entrants indicates the number of individuals or teams who are interested in competing in a competition (regardless if they paid their dues or not).
- If a competition is unavailable because the number of slots has been filled, it will be striked out.
- Some events are only for certain grade levels; e.g. all the "Intro to X" competitions are for 9th to 10th graders.
- Not all competitions are available at the regional level; those that are are labeled "All." Events labeled "States/Nat'l" are available at the two upper levels. Events labeled "States" or "Nationals" are available at their respective levels only.
- * The event has changed from last year, e.g. because of a name change.
- ** The event only allows teams of two or (in case of Parliamentary Procedure) five people.
