Heartland FBLA members are not amateurs when it comes to hard work and competition. Every year, multiple Heartland FBLA members from grades 9-12 attend several practice competitions. At these business competitions, members take tests in preparation for the state convention. This year, students were able to attend competitions at Southeast Community College in Beatrice, University of Nebraska-Kearney, or Peru State College.
The members who attended each competition took two to three tests over subjects ranging from Keyboarding Knowledge to Economics. An awards ceremony announcing the winners of each test followed later in the afternoon. Over all three competitions, Heartland took home 15 first place awards, 9 second places, 5 third places, 2 fourth places, 3 fifth places, 1 eighth place, and 1 ninth place for a total of 36 awards.
