The WNA recently announced the winners for the 2024 Wisconsin Civics Games Editorial Writing & Cartoon Contest but we still need your help getting the word out regarding the winners and promoting the Civics Games.
We had 42 students enter the contest and have winners from Burlington, Dane, DePere, Fish Creek, Gilman, Hartland, Jefferson, Marshfield, Middleton, Milwaukee, New Glarus, Oshkosh, Pewaukee, two from Poynette, and brothers from Waunakee.
Here’s how you can help: Assist with the announcement of these students in your print edition, online and/or your social media. Publicity by WNA members will expose more readers to the benefits of the Wisconsin Civics Games and could inspire more participation by Wisconsin educators in future years.
You can also promote the 2025 Wisconsin Civics Games, which aims to promote civics education and encourage Wisconsin high school students to develop an interest in public service. The games will host play-off competitions virtually on April 9-10, 2025. Top-performing teams will advance to the state finals on Friday, May 2, at the Wisconsin State Capitol. Members of the state championship-winning team will receive $2,000 scholarships to the Wisconsin college or university of their choice.
Once teams have identified their participants, they can sign up to participate online. Following registration, participating teams will receive “The Framework of Your Wisconsin Government” textbook and access to several online resources to help them prepare for the competition(s). The deadline for to Wisconsin Civics Games team registration is March 1.
A team may have any number of players who meet all eligibility requirements, but only up to four players can actively compete at any given time. Teams may compete with as few as one player. This year, schools are allowed to enter multiple teams in the regional competitions. A winning team will have a maximum of four players eligible for a scholarship.
