Local Competition Questions
WACA will provide a full set of questions based on the
AWQ Study Guide
, which will be available to Councils for use in local competitions. Indicate your interest in these questions by submitting your
Pledge Form

For this year's AWQ program, alternative formats in the Current Events round of questions will once again be used in The Carlos and Malú Alvarez National 2020 National Competition. The questions we provide for local competitions, however, will remain fully multiple-choice. Councils are welcome to assess their capacity to adjust their local competition questions for this year or to continue with the multiple-choice-only model.
Great Decisions

Pledge Form

Please Note
: The Great Decisions 2019 Briefing Book is required study material for the National Competition.
However, the Briefing Book will NOT be required reading for local competitions.
