Guidelines for Georgia FCCLA Competitive Events

This year Georgia FCCLA will have 8 state competitive events.  These events will showcase individual proficiency and achievement in the knowledge of the Family and Consumer Sciences, Culinary, and Education.  These events will offer individual skill development and application of learning through individualization and competition. These events are not available at the region level and competitors will not be advancing to national competition.
