The National Economics Challenge (NEC) is the country’s only economics competition of its kind for high school students. It tests micro and macroeconomic principles as well as knowledge of the world economy.
This motivating and fun team learning experience begins with competitions at the state level. The winning teams from each state move on to the National Semi-Finals to compete for their spot in the National Finals. The top teams in the semi-finals will advance and receive an all-expense paid trip to compete in the National Finals in Atlanta, GA this spring. The 2025 National Economics Challenge semi-finals will take place online April 21-24, 2025. The finals will be hosted in Atlanta, GA on May 29-31, 2025. The teams advancing to the National Finals will travel to Atlanta, GA on an all-expense paid trip (excluding travel) to compete in-person and earn cash prizes: 1st place $1,000 | 2nd place $500 | 3rd place $250 | 4th place $200
The competition runs in two divisions
