Competitive Events are presentations consisting of Demonstrations, Illustrated Talks, or Public Speaking contests.  These contests occur at the county, district, state, and regional or national levels. Most competitions require some qualifying level of participation. This progression may be county to district to state OR county to state OR district to state.  Members present at the County and District levels and advance to the state contest based on district contest scores.
