Download a 2009 one-page program summary.
The winter-spring competition is open to all Illinois high school students enrolled in an economics or economics-related course during the current school year, competing in teams of four (three may compete if a teammate is unable to compete). Each student may participate as a member of only one team. Teachers must certify that their competing students meet the criteria for their division by using National Economics Challenge guidelines.
Students not enrolled in an economics or economics-related course during the current school year, but taking a state-mandated consumer education or personal finance course may participate in Econ Illinois' Illinois Personal Finance Challenge.
For specific information regarding student eligibility, team composition, registration and other details relating to Economics Challenge, refer to the EconChallenge ONLINE! web site. It is at this web site that teams participate in the preliminary round of testing.
