Students Still Can Enter Civics Games

The deadline to register for the Wisconsin Newspaper Foundation’s Wisconsin Civics Games has been extended until March 18.

The competition, which aims to promote civics education and encourage Wisconsin high school students to develop an interest in public service, will host regional competitions virtually on April 11-12. The top-performing teams will advance to the state finals May 10 at the Wisconsin State Capitol. Members of the state championship-winning team will receive $2,000 scholarships to Wisconsin colleges or universities.

Once teams have identified their participants, they can sign up to participate online at tinyurl.com/4y6utw4z. Following registration, participating teams will receive “The Framework of Your Wisconsin Government” textbook and access to several online resources to help them prepare for competition.
