Each year, World Affairs Councils around the United States host Academic WorldQuest competitions for high school students. Teams of four (4) study for a chance to compete on the national level in Washington DC against other regional winners. Each JWAC may enter up to three (3) teams.

The competition consists of 100 multiple-choice questions, including 10 sections of 10 questions. The World Affairs Councils of America decides the 10 topics based on the most relevant global issues of that year.

Teachers can register up to three teams by emailing jbowden@dfwworld.org
