Like an Olympian, greatness comes from planning. Here’s how to get started:

Schedule a date and time in September to hold your contest

Determine if your contest will be held online or in person. You can also choose to forgo holding a contest and instead appoint a club member to send to the Area Contest.

Note that one (1) contestant will be advancing from club to Area, from Area to Division, and/or from Division to District.
