Registration for the Wisconsin Newspaper Association Foundation’s Wisconsin Civics Games – a program that seeks to promote civics education and encourage Wisconsin high school students to develop an interest in public service – is now open.

The 2023 Civics Games’ regional competitions will be held virtually April 13 and 14. Then the top-performing teams will advance to the state finals on May 12 at the Wisconsin State Capitol.

The deadline to sign up to participate in the regional competitions is Feb. 20. Register at wnanews.formstack.com/forms/wisconsincivicsgames.

Members of the winning team will each be awarded $2,000 toward tuition to a Wisconsin college or university of their choice. The scholarships are funded in part by the University of Wisconsin System.
