We are pleased to announce the final results of the 36th annual WordMasters Challenge™. Please check out the tables below for the Top Ten teams in each division, as well as the cumulative scores required to qualify for each level of individual special honors.
At the conclusion of each year’s WordMasters Challenge™, we determine three categories of national individual recognition. “Highest Honors” are reserved for those students who have finished among the top 10-15 students in the country at their grade level. “High Honors” are for those students who have finished among the top 2% of all competitors at their grade level, and “Honorable Mention” is for those who have finished in the top 10%. The score required to qualify for these honors varies from year to year. The charts below show the minimum score required for each level of honor at each grade level for the 2022-2023 WordMasters Challenge™.
Team Leaders, if you had one or more teams place among the Top Ten in its division and/or any of your students achieved Highest Honors recognition, we will be sending you a DRAFT press release by May 15th. Since we email the press releases as Word documents, you may edit and distribute the press release at your discretion. If you would like to create your own press release, click here for a downloadable template.
We suggest that any student who has achieved a cumulative score high enough to qualify for one of these honors deserves special recognition—an article or photo in your local newspaper, a commendation from your Board of Education, or at least individual mention in a schoolwide awards assembly. Please send us copies of articles about your Challenge champions which have run in your local newspapers. We especially enjoy seeing photographs of the children who make up teams in different parts of the country, and will post them on our website with your permission.
It's time to start planning for the upcoming 2023-2024 WordMasters Challenge™! Registration is available online now through September 30th -- just click here to register online or download an order form.
