The Illinois JCL Convention has many different contests which students can enter and prepare for beforehand. Contests are judged by teachers, SCLers, and chaperones. Prizes for 1st-10th place are awarded and 1st-5th place acquire sweepstakes points. Ask your teacher to contact the Executive Board with any questions about these contests. Good luck!

**Please note: The graphic arts and creative arts rules are linked to the NJCL website currently, but there are small differences at the Illinois level. We do not offer the essay or slogan contests, and the costume contest is held in-person.
