PBL Competitive Events

The PBL National Awards Program recognizes excellence in a number of business and career-related areas. PBL competitive events also prepare college students for the workforce by expanding their classroom experience with real-world scenarios.

The competitive event guidelines and competencies that follow were created for competitors, advisers, and event judges.
