If you're under 18 you don't need to worry about the message below
Note: If you do win at the state competition, to be able to smoothly get through airport security, you will need a Real ID. A passport will also work just as well but if you do not have a passport you will need to get a Real ID:
"A REAL ID is a state-issued driver’s license, permit or identification card that is also a federally accepted form of identification. Beginning May 7, 2025, everyone 18 and older must show REAL ID or other federally accepted identification at...TSA...It can take up to three weeks to receive your REAL ID in the mail, so allow enough time to get one before boarding a plane."
