WISDAA contests are school-based, meaning if students are interested in entering contests, they must have a school administration-approved sponsor/advisor who will supervise the group (and travel to the state contest, if attending in-person). Schools attending festivals at UW System campuses also must meet the responsible adult supervision protocols (§2 of the Eligibility/Participation Rules).
WISDAA is excited to re-launch our debate initiative with monthly, entirely online contests from October through March, culminating with both in-person and online options for our State Festival in April. Debaters interested in learning more, visit our Debate Rules & Categories page.
