Academic World Quest

Calling all high-school teachers, parents, students…

Interested in providing a focus on International Affairs and having your students compete locally for prize money and a trip to Washington DC for a national competition?

The World Affairs Council of Monterey Bay will sponsor a countywide Academic World Quest (AWQ) competition during the 2024-25 academic year.

Each Monterey County high school is invited to send one team of four students to compete in the Monterey County AWQ competition on February 22, 2025. Each team must have one teacher as their coach. Each coach who brings a team of four to the local competition will receive a stipend of $325.

Students in the top three teams in Monterey County will receive the following awards:

  • Monetary awards for 1st, 2nd, & 3rd place teams
  • 1st place winning team gets sponsored by WACMB to compete in Washington, D.C.!
