Quest for the Quill is an annual writing competition at AoPS Academy that occurs during the first three quarters of the academic year. Every year, each campus’s language arts program competes with the other Academies across the country in a race to win the Golden Quill Trophy. The better language arts students do on their class writing projects, the more progress their campus makes on the game board.
Contest at a Glance
Quest for the Quill starts at the beginning of the academic year and ends after the third quarter.
Any student enrolled in a language arts class automatically participates in the competition.
Students participate in Quest for the Quill by submitting their writing projects at the end of each quarter. Once all writing projects scores have been submitted, the campus will be notified of who the Quarter or Quest Champions are.
A Quarter Champion is a student who has the top writing project score in their course across all sections of the same course at their campus.
A Quest Champion is a student who has the highest average writing project score in their course across the first three units.
