Announcing the winners of the 2021 Maryland Economics Challenge!

Each year the Maryland Council on Economic Education hosts the Maryland Economics Challenge Competition.   The challenge is an annual academic competition where teams of four students from high schools throughout Maryland compete to demonstrate knowledge of microeconomics principals, macroeconomic principals, and the world economy.

There are two divisions within the Economics Challenge Competition Program.  The David Ricardo division is for first time competitors who have taken no more than one economics course.   The Adam Smith division is for returning competitors, students enrolled in Advanced Placement or International Baccalaureate courses, or who have been enrolled in more than one economics course.

We are proud to announce the winners from the 2021 Maryland Economics Challenge.  The first place winner in each division will advance to represent Maryland in the National Economics Challenge in May.  Each team member of the first place team in each division will also receive a $100 cash prize from the Maryland Council on Economic Education.  Congratulations to all who participated.   We are proud of you!
