# Description
Participants will create a design for the lapel pin which Oklahoma TSA members will wear and trade during the trip to the National Conference. The design should showcase the upcoming national conference. The winning entry will earn a $100 registration credit to help defray the expenses of the student/chapter winner while attending the TSA National Conference. In the event the winning chapter cannot attend the National Conference the registration credit will not be awarded. This is a non-transferable credit.
# Theme 2026-2027
National Conference Trading Pin: Design a pin that clearly reflects both the National Conference location, Orlando, FL., and the conference theme, “Forward to Fifty.” This is the official Oklahoma TSA pin that members will trade with students from across the country at the National TSA Conference, so we want a design that really stands out and becomes a pin everyone wants to collect! Think creatively about what could make your pin unique and memorable. In past years, some of the most sought-after trading pins have included interactive features or moving components. While these features are not required, designers are encouraged to think beyond a traditional pin and create something that will be a hot commodity on the trading floor.
