Platinum Challenge Competition

Sponsored by: KPMG

Deadline: Friday, May 17th, 2024 by 11:59 PM EDT

Overview

Beta Alpha Psi recognizes that many chapters often go above and beyond what is required to become a top performing chapter. In an effort to reward these chapters, the KPMG Foundation sponsors the KPMG Gold Challenge Competition which has been renamed in 2023-2024 to the Platinum Challenge. The competition lets BAP students put their multimedia skills to use by creating a 5-minute video that explains and/or demonstrates why their chapter deserves the award or why a top student would want to become part of the BAP organization.
