The purpose of the ABC/SVC Construction Academy Craft Championship competition is to establish the most viable candidates to represent the Saginaw Valley Chapter at the ABC National Craft Championships held in conjunction with the annual ABC National Convention.
During the Fall Semester of each school year, all ABC/SVC Construction Academy students in the final semesters of their craft training must take a mandatory craft championship competition pretest. The test covers all the modules of their craft curriculum from the first year through the end of the previous year. After the test has been given, each instructor will provide all tests scores to the ABC/SVC Director of Education. There is a minimum score to qualify and that score will determine who will compete at the local competition.
The local competition will consist of a written exam and hands on performance exam. Judges will combine the performance “hands-on” test score from the projects with the written test score. The craft specific contestant with the greatest oversll score will be declared the winner. The winner of the local competition must meet the eligibility requirement to qualify for the ABC National Craft Championship Competition.
