Each year The Indiana Farm Bureau Insurance
eXceL Awards (formerly Project XL) challenges 9th-12th grade students to address important social issues through their work in one of six categories: writing, video art, two-dimensional art, three-dimensional art, original music or performance art.
The
eXceL Awards are sponsored and funded entirely by Indiana Farm Bureau Insurance. There are no entry fees for students or schools.
