What is Competition?
DECA competition consists of a variety of events. There are many categories to choose from with different career focuses.
Individual Events
Individual Events
For individual series events, participants take a one hundred question, career cluster test and participate in two role-plays. The test questions and role-play scenarios coincide with the event chosen. For role-plays, individuals have ten minutes to prepare and ten minutes to present to their judge.
First Time Competitor
First Time Competitor
If you are a first time competitor and a freshman or sophomore, you can participate in the principles event. This individual series eases you into the competition world and is a great opportunity. You only compete against other first time competitors.
Team Events
Team Events
Team series events also consist of a one hundred question, career cluster test and two role-plays. However, since there are two participants, the test score will be the average between both tests. Additionally, team series have thirty minutes to prepare and fifteen minutes to present.
Projects
Projects
Projects greatly vary between events. Some projects include a test and presentation, while others are a written paper and presentation.
