The North American Computational Linguistics Olympiad (NACLO) is a linguistics competition for high school students in the United States and Canada that has been held since 2007. Around 1000 students participate annually. Since 2008 the contest has consisted of two rounds, the second being administered to the top scorers in the first round. The top-scoring students on the second round qualify for the International Linguistics Olympiad (ILO), one of the international science olympiads.
