The deadline for registering is Friday October 4, 2024.

Schools will receive confirmation emails with details about the qualification process. With a coach (or coaches), form a team of 4 main players and up to two alternates. The team will take an online, timed qualifying test in mid-October (there is no obligation to take the test once registered). The top 16 scoring schools will be invited onto the show.

Episodes are recorded after school on selected weekdays in November and December of 2024, with the possibility of weekend tapings. Your team will travel to the Maine Public Studios in Lewiston for taping (and your school receives a $200 travel stipend for each trip).

Teams that win their first match will return for a second match. Teams that win their second match will return in January 2025 for the semi-final and Championship games (schedule subject to change).

Episodes begin airing in March 2025 with the Championship broadcast on Thursday, May 29, 2025 — just in time for Graduation!

High School Quiz Show: Maine is a locally produced television production spearheaded by veteran producer Nick Woodward pitting four-student teams from Maine high schools against each other in a single-elimination, academic bracket competition.

Questions used in each contest align with the Maine high school curriculum standards across literature, history, science and math, as well as questions regarding current events and general knowledge. Each episode will feature video questions from notable civic and business leaders in Maine, as well as a "Viewer Question of the Week" that our at-home viewers can try to answer.

Todd Gutner, the Chief Meteorologist at NEWS CENTER Maine, once again takes the reigns as our host.

The winning team will receive a $1,000 gift to their school's Project Graduation with the runner-up being awarded a $500 gift.
