ABCSD Finishes Strong!
San Antonio, Texas | March 14 - 17, 2022

ABC's National Craft Championships invites more than 175 competitors to vie for gold in 15 competitions with skills on display across 12 crafts. Each competition consists of an online exam which accounts for 25% of the total score. and a six-hour project where the competitors are tested on their skills. This practical performance test accounts for 75% of the competitors total score. The competition objectives are to demonstrate safety along with craft interdependency and teamwork, simulate working conditions where planning is critical to success, and highlight individual leadership and workmanship skills as the project is assembled and completed.

Eleven Competitors representing ABC San Diego competed in this year's competition and we are proud of their efforts and accomplishments. We are excited to share with you their achievements and successes.
