How To Compete
The NVC was open to eligible high school students in the United States between the ages of 13 and 19 years old and in grades 9-12. Home schooled students were also eligible to compete.
There were two ways to enter the competition:
Eligible students at participating schools in eight local markets could qualify to participate in a Citywide Championship for a chance to win $5,000 toward college tuition and other prizes, as well as a trip to the national finals.
Eligible students nationwide could also participate through a National Qualifying Competition via on-line and regional exams offered by The Princeton Review for a chance to compete in the NVC Finals.
