2023 - Competitive Events

The official 2023 Educators Rising Competitive Events and Contests are below.  All are linked to the PDK/Educators Rising portal where you will find competition descriptions, guidelines, and rubrics.  Educators Rising Virginia uses the National resources for the Student Leadership Conference.  

Please note:  For the 2023 Educators Rising Virginia Student Leadership Conference, modifications have been made to the competition process but not the competition expectations.  While we will be altering the way competitions are judged, the National rubrics will be used to evaluate all competitions with the exception of the Public Service Announcement contest.
