Competition by VP Jarell

ATTENTION ALL DECA COMPETITORS!!
 There have been some major changes to this year’s Competitive Events, mainly with the Written Entries.  First off there are no more 5, 11, or 30 pages 😨❗❗ They have instead been replaced with 10 and 20 pages (10 being in place of 5 and 11 pages, 20 for 30).  This is very important to note when picking the right competition for you.  There’ll be a lot more people doing 10 pages rather than 20 pages too, so keep that in mind. No matter what your interest is, there’s for sure a category for you.  From virtual business challenges and the stock market game, to written event competitions and testing/role plays; there’s something for everybody. 
 
Now specifically for first year members, there’s a testing category called the Principles of Business Administration Events, which are four different tests on the basics of finance, marketing, business management + administration and hospitality + management.
