AGENT FIELD PROMOTION Categories

ATTN: ALL FIELD AGENTS

For field agents who are deep undercover at their posts, aren’t able to rendezvous with the other agents on April 23, or even those who are attending in person and want a second shot at a title, now's your chance to earn a promotion and an official title at The Agency. We’re announcing our online-only Agent Field Promotion categories! Competitors who sign up for these BONUS categories will submit photos and a video of themselves online ahead of time and are evaluated by our panel of on-stage judges in the days leading up to our on-stage competition!

WHEN

Submissions are due by WEDNESDAY, APRIL 20 at NOON Pacific. As with our in-person event, every last cent raised will go to Shine For Scott, a non-profit helping young adult colorectal cancer patients. Winners will be announced live on stage at the MABSC 008 and posted online!

First Place winners will receive a custom nameplate for their desk with their new title in The Agency. Second and Third Place winners will receive official framed certificates noting their meritorious service and the thanks of a grateful nation (along with a few other goodies).

Good luck. Stay vigilant.
