All high school students are eligible to participate and the top winners in each grade will receive prizes and juniors will win a MAC scholarship (eligible for dual credit). Teachers will also receive a token of thanks from us if their students submit.
We're using a new submission system this year rather than using emails or sharing documents. The files need to be a .docx or .pdf format, so if students are working in Google Docs, have them download that document as one of the above formats and they can upload it.
