MTNA Competitive Events

MTNA Competitive Events are competitions with monetary awards, usually held during the Annual State conference. Each year FSMTF presents awards to student winners of Florida MTNA Competitions. Single entrants in an event will automatically advance to the online Southern Division Competitions, and are not eligible for monetary awards.
