Champions Rally

CHAMPIONS RALLY INFORMATION

​

COVID-19 PRECAUTIONS: 

​

To provide a fun and safe environment SkillsUSA Georgia will be implementing new COVID-19 caution procedures. To reduce the amount of crowds and face-to-face interaction, SkillsUSA Georgia is implementing a pre-pay process where chapters can pay via credit card or mail a check. Any chapter who does not pre-pay will have a $25 late fee added to their chapter's account.

​

SkillsUSA Georgia may also implement assigned seating in Reaves Arena. This decision will be made and announced closer to October 8th. 

​

A mask mandate will be in affect while attendees are in Reaves Arena. This includes the registration area as well as contest check-in. Any persons who does not adhere to the mask mandate will be asked to leave the arena. Masks will be made available upon request, but not provided for all. We appreciate your assistance as we work to keep all participants safe. 

​

Additional changes and procedures will be posted here. Please visit our website periodically for updates, and we look forward to seeing you at this year's Champions Rally!

CONTEST WINNERS ANNOUNCEMENT

 All contests will be judged during the Champions Rally and ribbons will be awarded to the top 10 entries in each category. The top 10 entries in each category will remain on display at the Fair. All other entries should be picked up by the advisors/students by 4:00 p.m. (any entries not picked up will be discarded). The winning top 10 entries will be posted on the SkillsUSA Georgia website.

TOP 10 PROJECT PICK-UP: 

It is important that you have a plan for project pick-up. Your chapter has two options. First, you can pick up your project directly from the fair. If you plan to do this, you must let the SkillsUSA Georgia State Office know, as we pick up all projects and take them to FLC for pick up. Second, you can pick up your projects at FLC. SkillsUSA Georgia will not keep any projects that are not picked up. However, we are happy to mail your chapter their winning ribbon.

And don’t worry- we will make this reminding announcement at Rally! 

​

PROCEDURES: Advisors/Students must submit their display during the event check-in at the Georgia National Fair Champions Rally. Entries will remain on display during the Fair.
