eXceL Awards is a creative arts competition by Indiana Farm Bureau Insurance, allowing high school authors, poets, artists, songwriters, filmmakers and performers the opportunity to express themselves on topics of interest and vital importance to Indiana teenagers.

This is the 20th year that eXceL Awards has invited every Indiana high school student to express himself or herself on a relevant issue.

During the 2007-2008 eXceL Awards competition, over 3,800 students from 200 Indiana high schools and home schools participated in eXceL Awards, taking home $75,500 in scholarship money.
