Educational Contests Open to Homeschoolers
Contests are a fun way to motivate kids to go that extra step in showcasing what they've learned. Some families get
such a kick out of entering contests that they build their homeschool year around writing themes for different contests.
We've rounded up over 50 annual academic and creative arts contests that homeschool students can enter. Be sure to click
through each page, as we don't list contests more than once - but some contests fall under different categories.
While all information is current, as of November 2017, be sure to check websites for additional details. Some contests
have different deadlines for local, regional, and national eligibility.
Be sure to check eligibility and rules for homeschool participation in each contest. Determining grade level eligibility
may be tied to the types of classes your child is taking. For example, you can say your child is in 8th grade, but the
contest may add the rule that the student cannot have taken more than 2 high school level classes while still in middle school.
