What are the competition dates?
The Regional competition is held on the third Saturday in January. The Regionals are based on the enrollment level of the schools. There are four breakdowns of school size in Nebraska: Large, Medium, Small and Very Small. The location of the Regionals are established to minimize the travel costs of the participating schools. The State Final is held on the third full weekend in February at Creighton University in Omaha. On Friday (evening only), the students complete the Essay test, Interview test and Speech test. On Saturday, the remaining seven tests are completed. In addition, the Awards Ceremony is held shortly after the last test.
