LTCSW Events

Leadership Training for Christ Southwest (LTCSW) offers a wide variety of events designed to help youth grow in their talents, leadership and Christian service. Events are divided into two categories.

  • Pre-Convention Events are completed before the annual convention. Participants prepare and submit their entries through their local church group or as part of a registered independent family.
  • Convention Events are prepared throughout the year and presented or performed publicly during the LTCSW Convention.

Specific questions about event rules and forms should be directed to the event directors. General questions about event rules and forms can be directed to Jeff Foster.


Judging for Events

Our LTCSW events are judged by adult volunteers.

  1. Churches should provide at least one judge for each event in which they have at least one youth participant registered.
  2. Churches must submit one completed judge’s form with every submission of an art project, bulletin board, worship banner, greeting cards project and scrap book.

Church coordinators, please recruit judges prior to convention and encourage adults to volunteer as judges in the various events they attend. Judges may also be needed for select Pre-Convention Events; please contact event directors for details.


Special Needs & LTCSW

Church coordinators are encouraged to submit a Special Needs or Concerns Form for participants that may face certain challenges as they engage in certain activities. A link to this form is included in the masthead on each event rules page.
