Individuals who choose to participate in National FFA Events (referred to as “Participant”) must follow any oral or written code of conduct, guidelines, or instruction for the specific event. Participants are expected to demonstrate role model behaviors and personal conduct that clearly support the mission and values of the National FFA Organization. Participants in a National FFA Event must conduct themselves in an ethical and moral manner at all times consistent with the FFA Code of Ethics, as stated in the Official FFA Manual, which can be found on the National FFA website at https://www.ffa.org/official-manual. Failure to do so may disqualify Participants from participation in Events and could result in membership termination.

Participants are expected to take every precaution necessary to ensure personal safety while participating in any Event. Participants are prohibited from involvement in any unsafe, irresponsible, and/or illegal conduct. The Participant understands and confirms participation in this or any National FFA Event is completely voluntary and that Participant is not mandated by National FFA to participate in any Event. Participant has been made aware of National FFA privacy policy which can be found on the National FFA website at https://www.ffa.org/privacy-policy.

FFA has no obligation to monitor the communication services. However, FFA reserves the right to review materials posted to a communication service and to remove any materials in its sole discretion. FFA reserves the right to terminate your access to any or all of the communication services at any time without notice for any reason whatsoever.

FFA reserves the right at all times to disclose any information as necessary to satisfy any applicable law, regulation, legal process or governmental request, or to edit, refuse to post or to remove any information or materials, in whole or in part, in FFA’s sole discretion.

Always use caution when giving out any personally identifying information about yourself or your children in any communication service. FFA does not control or endorse the content, messages or information found in any communication service and, therefore, FFA specifically disclaims any liability with regard to the communication services and any actions resulting from your participation in any communication service. Managers and hosts are not authorized FFA spokespersons, and their views do not necessarily reflect those of FFA.

Materials uploaded to a communication service may be subject to posted limitations on usage, reproduction and/or dissemination. You are responsible for adhering to such limitations if you download the materials.

Participant certifies that any such Materials submitted will be the result of Participant’s own effort and ability and that any direct quotes or phrases, specific dates, figures or other non-original materials, must be marked in “quotes” in manuscripts and identified in a bibliography at the end of the manuscript. Failure to do so represents plagiarism and will automatically disqualify a contestant. (Action of Boards of National Officers and Directors, October 1960.)
