Although some schools hold local competitions to determine who will represent their school in each contest, the Region SkillsUSA Championships is the first official level of competition.

The state is divided into 8 SkillsUSA Georgia Regions. (See Region Map). Each Region elects a Region Chairperson for the year. The Chairperson is responsible for setting the date and location for his/her Region Competition for that year and for implementing it. The competition, in most cases, are held at a Technical College within the region and must be held between February 1 and March 5.

Each school may enter one contestant or one team per contest. A student may be entered in only one contest. At Region Competition each advisor must also turn in a list of students to be entered in State Only contests to be held at the State Conference.

All 1st and 2nd place winners at Region Competition qualify to compete at the State Level.
