Designed to test students’ knowledge on all things West Virginia including culture, geography, government, history, literature and sports, the eight regional matches are scheduled to take place from Jan. 31 to Mar. 1. Eighth graders in public, private and home-schooled education programs are eligible to compete on the four-person teams in double-elimination tournament play. The winner and runner-up teams are invited to the tournament championship at the Culture Center in Charleston on Apr. 29.

Commissioner Randall Reid-Smith says, “This is the fifth year for the tournaments and we are delighted by how excited students are to participate in the competitions. They discover how interesting our state is as they prepare for these events.”

During the competition, students will answer questions compiled by the division’s Archives and History Section staff members. In preparation for competition, teams are encouraged to review the Daily Trivia, Quick Quizzes, and Golden Horseshoe study guides. These can be found on the Archives and History Section’s website, www.wvculture.org/history.

Locally, the regional tournament dates and sites are as follows:

  • Region I: Feb. 8 at Summers Middle School, Hinton, Summers County. Region I includes schools in McDowell, Mercer, Monroe, Raleigh, Summers and Wyoming counties.
  • Region IV: Feb. 7 at Summersville Middle School, Summersville, Nicholas County. Region IV includes schools in Braxton, Fayette, Greenbrier, Nicholas, Pocahontas and Webster counties.

The WV Division of Culture and History is an agency within the WV Department of Education and the Arts with Kay Goodwin, cabinet secretary. The division, led by Commissioner Randall Reid-Smith, brings together the past, present and future through programs and services focusing on archives and history, arts, historic preservation and museums.
