The Competitive Activities and
Awards program within the Illinois Association of DECA provides
the DECA members in the marketing education curriculum an opportunity
to demonstrate outstanding individual and/or team achievement and
be recognized for their work. From the inception of Illinois DECA,
this phase has been considered an integral part of the program along
with the curriculum.
Each year the competitive activities are
reviewed and evaluated to assure that the knowledge and skills demonstrated
by the participants are necessary for success in business, marketing,
management and entrepreneurship and are educationally sound. No
competitive activity has ever been adopted with the intention to
add to the teaching load of the Chapter Advisor. Participants should
be chosen on the basis of their ability shown in the classroom.
Awards are presented on all levels:
Each Area Board of Advisors determines
its own type, number and dissemination of the awards to be presented
to chapter, DECA members and/or advisors.
It has been the philosophy
of Illinois DECA to recognize many DECA members with as many
different forms
of awards as possible.
The State Career Development
Conference is the next time the members have the occasion to
be presented
with "Thanks" and "Honors" from Illinois
DECA. Certificates of Participation are given to each registrant.
Competitors
may receive Certificates of Competency recognizing a high standard
of accomplishment in an event.
Medallions are presented
in the mini awards sessions as well as to the top 10 winners
in each event at the
Grand Awards Session. A trophy is given to
the first, second and third place winners in each event. Because
the written events vary in number of participants from 1 to
3 only 1 trophy is ordered for each written event. Other team
members will receive a trophy after the conference which will
be ordered for them and delivered to their school.
The Illinois Foundation for
Marketing Education presents several monetary scholarships at
each Illinois DECA State Career Development Conference. The IFME also presents the
Frank Vignola Award to one or more deserving DECA members. The yearly Honor Awards are
also presented by the IFME at the State Career Development Conference.

of Participation to all DECA members in attendance. There are
3 scholarships awarded from the Central Region Board of
Governors at the International Career Development Conference.
