National Awards Program Committee Competitive Event Changes for 2017-2018 (Baltimore NLC)

1. Add Broadcast Journalism as a new individual/team event; present a newscast to judges, topic

printed in CMH.

2. Add Virtual Business Finance Challenge as new individual/team event; run similarly to Virtual Business Management Challenge. NOT A STATE LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE EVENT IN WYOMING.

3. Modify event guidelines so that all events that are currently teams of 2 to 3 would be an individual or team of 2 to 3. Parliamentary Procedure would remain a team of 4 to 5. (Banking & Financial, Entrepreneurship, Global Business, Hospitality Management, Management Decision Making, Marketing, and Sports & Entertainment Management)

4. Modify rating sheets for Graphic Design and Publication Design to include more emphasis on the design element of the event.

5. Rename FBLA Principles and Procedures to “Introduction to FBLA,” so that all 9/10 grade events are similarly named. NO REPEAT COMPETITORS FOR A NAME CHANGE ONLY.

6. Rename Public Speaking I to “Introduction to Pubic Speaking,” so that all 9/10 grade events are similarly named. NO REPEAT COMPETITORS FOR A NAME CHANGE ONLY.

7. Rename Public Speaking II to “Public Speaking.” Distinction is no longer needed. NO REPEAT COMPETITORS FOR A NAME CHANGE ONLY.

8. Modify event guidelines to no longer use projectors in preliminary round of presentation events—competitors would present directly from their laptops/devices. Eliminates disadvantage some students experience if projectors don’t work and creates a level playing field for all competitors. (Projectors will only be provided for finals in events with viewing, and it is up to the competitors to decide if they wish to use them.)

9. Newly revised FBLA rating sheets will be instituted.

BUSINESS FINANCIAL PLAN (Individual or team of 2 or 3) You are planning to open a “fresh food” (i.e. prepared meals, ingredients to makes meals, natural foods, etc.) home delivery service in your community of 250,000 residents. Since it is a delivery service, there is room to expand your geographic delivery area. Your service will have a variety of delivery options to meet the needs of different types of customers (i.e. meat, vegetarian, vegan, family, couples, gluten-free, etc.). You will conduct business via an online ordering system, but you will lease an existing building that is currently zoned for your business venture in order to prepare the meals that will be delivered to customers. You will also need to purchase a delivery vehicle(s). Develop a financial plan that covers all aspects described. You will need to name your business. You must include plans for needed construction/renovation to the building, equipment that must be purchased, inventory for your launch date, hours of operation, staffing requirements, and an advertising plan. You will also need to clearly identify your target market(s), product availability, and delivery location(s).

2018 FBLA SLC/NLC COMPETITIVE EVENT TOPICS (continued) COMPUTER GAME & SIMULATION PROGRAMMING (Individual or team of 2 or 3) A sandbox is a style of game in which minimal character limitations are placed on the gamer, allowing the gamer to roam and change a virtual world at will. In contrast to a progression-style game, a sandbox game emphasizes roaming and allows a gamer to select tasks. Instead of featuring segmented areas or numbered levels, a sandbox game usually occurs in a “world” to which the gamer has full access from start to finish. Create an original sandbox-style game that revolves around a year in the life of a typical FBLA member and the varied activities that he/she can become involved in; such as competitive events, fundraising, community service, national membership programs, and national recognition programs. The game must:

• Run on a PC using Windows 7 or newer • Be virus and malware free • Run solely by keyboard stroke • Qualify for a maximum ESRB rating of E10+

Since it is a delivery service, there is room to expand your geographic delivery area. Give your business a name and a logo. Your service will have a variety of delivery options to meet the needs of different types of customers (i.e. meat, vegetarian, vegan, family, couples, gluten-free, etc.). The website should clearly identify the target market locations and its product availability. The website should allow customers to check availability of products, place and pay for orders online as a one-time customer, or become a member and set up plans for a calendar year. The site should also contain a contact page. EMERGING BUSINESS ISSUES (Individual or team of 2 or 3) Crowdsourcing is the process of obtaining needed services, ideas, content, or funding by soliciting contributions from a large group of people, particularly an online community. Crowdsourcing has become very popular for soliciting funding for business ventures or persons facing medical crises, for example. However, it is also being used by individuals to solicit funding that will aid them in purchasing material items such as a new car or television. Be prepared to argue the affirmative, that crowdsourcing is an effective way to raise money for a valid purpose; and be prepared to argue the negative, that crowdsourcing is ineffective because it can be used for personal gain. GRAPHIC DESIGN (Individual or team of 2 or 3) Create a digital magazine spread for the FBLA publication, Tomorrow’s Business Leader. You must include a cover; a feature article on an FBLA program; an interview with an educator, professional member, or sponsor; and a promotional announcement for the 2018 National Leadership Conference in Baltimore.

The business will be a delivery service. The business will have a variety of delivery options to meet the needs of different types of customers (i.e. meat, vegetarian, vegan, family, couples, gluten-free, etc.). The materials developed should clearly identify the target market and its products. Give the business a name. The portfolio should include a logo for the business, a poster to advertise the business, a business card, and three additional promotional products.

SOCIAL MEDIA CAMPAIGN (Individual or team of 2 or 3) Create a social media marketing campaign to create buzz surrounding healthy eating and the opening of your new “fresh food” (i.e. prepared meals, ingredients to make meals, natural foods, etc.) home delivery service that will open soon in a community of about 250,000 residents. The business will be a delivery service. The business will have a variety of delivery options to meet the needs of different types of customers (i.e. meat, vegetarian, vegan, family, couples, gluten-free, etc.). The campaign should clearly identify the target market and its products. Give the business a name. The campaign must utilize a minimum of three different social media platforms.
