All School Winners will receive a letter in the mail in mid-February 2024 to notify them of the Awards Banquet details.

The placements for 1st-4th in the county will be announced at the banquet. 1st place winners will move on to the Area competition which includes Wilkes and 12 surrounding counties, these event judging will take place in March 2024.
