What is it? Academic WorldQuest is a global affairs and U.S. foreign policy-based knowledge competition. Every year, over 4,000 high school students across the U.S. participate in local WorldQuest competitions hosted by their World Affairs Council. The winners of each local competition travels to Washington, DC for the National Competition. This year’s National Competition will host over 40 teams from across the country from Hawaii and Alaska to Florida. The competition consists of teams of four students answering 100 questions over ten rounds.
