State/National
American Enterprise Project
This event recognizes FBLA chapters that develop projects within the school and/or community that increase
understanding of and support for the American enterprise system by developing an information/education
program.
Eligibility—State
Each active local chapter may submit one (1) report for competition.
Project Purpose
The project must promote an awareness of some facet of the American enterprise system within the school
and/or community and be designed for chapter participation rather than individual participation. The event is
not designed to raise money for the chapter. Rather the intent is to help members learn more about the
economic system under which they live and to share their expertise in some way with others inside and/or
outside of the school.
Procedure
The entry form must be completed and accompanied by two (2) copies of the report (original or copy) and
mailed to the FBLA state office by the deadline date approximately four (4) weeks prior to the State
Leadership Conference. One (1) copy of the report will be available for return on the last day of the State
Leadership Conference.
The report format must follow the same sequence shown on the rating sheet. If information is not
available for a particular criterion, include a statement to that effect in the report. The report must be similar
to that of a business report with substantiated statements in a clear and concise format. Creativity through
design and use of meaningful graphics is encouraged.
General Requirements
 Reports must be prepared by student members, not advisers. Local advisers should serve as
consultants to ensure that the reports are well organized, contain substantiated statements, and are
written in an acceptable business style.
 FBLA-PBL encourages local chapters to cooperate on projects during the year. However, each
chapter involved in the project must write and submit an independent report.
 Reports must describe activities of the chapter that were conducted between the start of the previous
State Leadership Conference and start of the current State Leadership Conference.
 Projects described in this report cannot be submitted in any other event except in the Local Chapter
Annual Business Report.
Report Cover
 Report covers must be cover stock, index stock, or card stock and include both a front and back cover.
 Report covers are not counted against the page limit and may contain other information unless they
are cut out.
 Covers may not be in plastic binders, be laminated, or have a plastic sheet overlaying the printed
cover. No items, such as labels or decals, may be attached to the front cover. Two- or three-ring
binders are not acceptable report covers.
 Cutout cover stock covers are allowed, but the page containing the cover information is included in
the page count.
 Front cover contains the following information: name of the school, state, name of the event, and year
(200x-–1x)
 All reports must be bound (e.g., tape binding, spiral binding).

is counted as a page. Pages must not be laminated or bound in sheet protectors.

be included in the page count).
