Westchester Region NAACP ACT-SO Coalition holds a competition in March or April of each year. A student may compete in one, two or three categories among 26 available categories.
Participants must be amateurs in their categories of competition, i.e., a student who is or has been paid professionally is allowed to compete only in categories outside of his or her professional experience.
A regional first place winner in any category is eligible to compete in the national competition the following July at the time and place of the NAACP national convention.
