local and national competitions

Local competitions are events held within a specific community or region, such as city or state-level contests, encouraging participation among nearby individuals or groups. National competitions are larger-scale events that bring together top participants from across an entire country, often featuring higher stakes and greater recognition. Both types of competitions aim to foster skill development, showcase talent, and motivate participants through recognition and achievement. While local contests focus on community engagement, national events emphasize broader excellence and often serve as stepping stones toward international opportunities.
