Competitive Events

Take Your Skills to the Next Level

The Michigan FCCLA Competitive Events Program provides opportunities for members to be recognized for proficiency and achievement in chapter and individual projects, leadership skills, and career preparation. Competitive Events give you the chance to take what you've learned in the classroom and put it into action. Whether you're interested in education, culinary arts, fashion, hospitality, or other careers, there's an opportunity to showcase your talents, explore your interests, and challenge yourself.

Through competition, you'll build real-world skills in communication, leadership, problem-solving, creativity, and teamwork. You'll gain confidence, receive valuable feedback, connect with students who share your interests, and develop skills that can help you succeed in college, your career, and beyond.

Competitive Events give you the opportunity to earn recognition for your hard work, represent your chapter on stage, and potentially advance to compete at the National Leadership Conference.

Earning Recognition

STAR Events, Michigan STAR Events, and Michigan Skilled Events will feature on-stage recognition for the top competitors.

To earn your place on the Michigan FCCLA Stage, you must score a gold rating (90% or above).

All gold-rated competitors will be recognized on stage with a gold medal.

The top 3 gold-rated entries in all events will be announced as 3rd place, 2nd place, and state champion.
For National STAR events, these top 3 entries will be Michigan FCCLA’s National Qualifiers!

If there are no gold-rated competitors in an event, no state champion will be crowned that year.

Silver medalists, bronze medalists, and certificate-earners will receive their recognition materials after the State Leadership Conference Awards Session.
Chapter officers are encouraged to make plans with their adviser to recognize all competitors who attend the State Leadership Conference.
