| Each year the National Geographic Society sponsors a competition for students in grades 4-8. The first level of the competition occurs in schools across the USA, US territories, and Department of Defense schools. The winner from each school then takes a written test. The top 100 students in each state and territory then compete in a state championship. The winner of the state competition will then travel, all expenses paid, to Washington D.C. to compete for the national championship. Alex Trebek, host of Jeopardy, will serve as the MC. The competition is rigorous from the preliminary classroom elimination rounds to the national championship round. |
