If a competitor used the HOSA Digital Upload System at the SLC, what must they do for the ILC?

The requirement to upload an additional submission by May 15 for the ILC builds upon the initial submission made through the HOSA Digital Upload System at the SLC. This is crucial because it allows for any updates, revisions, or enhancements to be integrated into their project before the International Leadership Conference. It ensures that competitors are presenting their best work when moving to the next level of competition and takes into account any feedback or new developments that may have occurred since the SLC.

Using the same materials without changes might not be sufficient if the competitor has had the opportunity to improve upon their project. Re-creating the project from scratch would be unnecessary and inefficient if updates are possible. Relying solely on printed materials would not leverage the benefits of the digital platform, which is designed to facilitate submissions and improve the accessibility of the materials. Hence, the requirement for an additional submission aligns with best practices for continuous improvement and competition readiness.
