Club Competition
The Digital Portfolio competition showcases the club’s experiences from the time span of state convention to state convention using a digital form such as, but not limited to a computer, tablet, iPad or image sharing platform. This is a way to record each Beta Club’s service, membership, and activities for the school year - the time between conventions. This competition is designed to encourage club pride, creativity and innovation, interpretation of a theme, and artistic design.
The Digital Portfolio is not required to follow the convention theme.
