The Competition

For the third year, MIC is pleased to offer Academic WorldQuest - a separate version of our

popular WorldQuest International Trivia Competition - for high school students.  Each

team comprises four members who pool their knowledge to confer and answer multiple choice questions about flags and capitals, people in the news, world geography and current events. 

First Prize:

Four scholarships for qualifying students and their sponsor to represent Minnesota at the National Academic WorldQuest in Washington D.C.

Who Can Play?
This event is open to all Minnesota high schools, but space is limited so be sure to register as soon as possible.

Recruit Your Student Team
The selection method of the four team members is up to each high school.  Other states have found student clubs, such as Youth in Government, AFS, Debate, Model United Nations, Boys and Girls State and Language clubs, to be good sources of student interest.
