About the Competition
The Presidential 1776 Award is part of a national civics competition that challenges high school students who have interest in history around the founding of America and the ideas that shaped this country. The competition focuses on the Founders, the Declaration of Independence, the Constitutional Convention, and the key battles and soldiers of the American Revolutionary War.
Students in grades 9-12 will compete in three stages:
- An online multiple-choice test
- An in-person regional semi-finals
- A national finals event in Washington D.C.
Student travel and lodging will not be sponsored for regional contestants but will be covered for national finalists.
