<p>Hi guys. My ECs are really weak and I want to try and improve them by entering and possibly winning or placing in a national competition (like Siemen's or something). I know it's very unlikely, but I want to give it a shot. Does anyone know of competitions that are state or nationally recognized or a resource where I could find a list? It would be much appreciated. Thank you.</p>
<p>Look through this thread:

<p>I’d recommend you look at local and state competitions first, because I doubt colleges will care about participation what they care about is results if you win a local or state competition that’ll mean more than getting nothing in a national competition.</p>
