Academic WorldQuest

Academic WorldQuest is one of the flagship programs of the World Affairs Councils of America. AWQ test students knowledge on international affairs and events and the competition puts Greater Cincinnati’s high schools against each other in a battle to be the ‘Best of the Quest.’ Topics have included geography, flags, current international events, foreign policy, alternative fuels, migration patterns, genocide, transnational crime and leaders. Scholarships are awarded to first, second and third place teams, and the first place team is sent to represent our region in the national competition in Washington, D.C.

2011 Academic WorldQuest Program Results

The seventh Academic World Quest regional high school international trivia competition was held December 10, 2011 at The Sharonville Convention Center. Four teams of four students from across the Greater Cincinnati region competed for points based on these six categories: Current Events, World Religion, International Organizations, Countries, Global Health and Great Decisions (Foreign Policy).

At the end of the ten rounds of competition team Summit Blue from Summit Country Day high School took first place and will represent our regional World Affairs Council for the 2012 National Academic WorldQuest Competition on April 30th in an all expense paid trip to Washington, D.C. Summit will be competing against nearly 50 teams from across the country.
