*** Gold medalists (those with scores between 95-100 in their category) are invited to compete on a national level.
The National Competition and Ceremonies are held every July in conjunction with the NAACP National Convention.
The deadline for submission of national registration documents is in May.
Students of African descent who are enrolled in grades 9 through 12 and are U.S. citizens or legal residents are able to participate. Students are expected to take a youth membership in the NAACP.
Participants must be amateurs in their categories of competition, that is, a student who is or has been paid professionally is allowed to compete only in categories outside of his or her professional experience.
Students are required to seek a coach in preparing for competition.
