The Council for Economic Education announces the tenth annual National Economics Challenge. The National Economics Challenge is the only national competition to foster interest in economics among high school students by recognizing their achievements and offering a fun and competitive way to showcase their knowledge. The Challenge applies the excitement of an athletic competition to academic excellence and encourages students to apply their economics knowledge, work in teams, and is not only fun, but offers prizes. In each competition teams of students answer rigorous questions on microeconomics, macroeconomics, international economics and current events. At the National Championship Finals, the title is decided in a heated competition in a quick-paced oral quiz-bowl round. Try out some sample test questions. Competitions are held at the state, national semifinal and national championship levels. At the national level there is one open division, and all students currently enrolled in high school may compete in the Challenge. Check the rules for more details.
Begin by entering your state-level Challenge. State competitions will take place around the country from February to April. To find out when and where your state competition will be held and whom to contact to register, click here. Each state will advance a team champion to the National Semifinals.
On April 26, 2010, state champions will compete in the National Semifinals. The six top scoring teams from around the country will advance and travel to New York City, where they will compete for the National Championship title.
The six top qualifying teams from the National Semifinals will compete for the national championship in New York City on May 22-24, 2010. The best of the best will wear the national crown and serve as models to raise the bar for excellence in economics. Each member of the winning team and their teacher will receive a $1,500 cash prize, as well as medals and a championship trophy. The runner-up teams and their teachers will also receive a cash prize and medals. Most travel expenses for the national competition will be paid by CEE.
