Brain House QUEST FOR THE BEST School Contest is open to 16 Benue Secondary Schools with the aim of developing the public speaking, reasoning and performing skills of students from Years 10 to 18. The event will have its apogee in an unveiling Gala night that will be held in the Double K Resort (Otukpo Benue State).

How does the School Contest work?
In 4 battles each time 4 schools collide in a battle held in the aula of one of these 4 schools.
Each school battle consists of 4 types of challenges:
 

• Challenge A – “A’certain” [time 30 minutes]
  Ascertain is a quiz where two teams of two persons (always boy|girl) fight each other in. So 2 times 2 teams engage. The points will be added to the schools totals. Each quiz lasts 10 minutes.

• Challenge B – “spelling’B” [time 30 minutes]
  Spelling Bee is a spelling game where 4 students of each school (16 in total) get 1 minute to spell as much words as possible (always 2x boy|2x girl). The points will be added to the schools totals.

• Challenge C – “dan’C” [time 30 minutes] In the Dance Contest each school performs a dance of 3 to 5 minutes with a maximum of 10 persons. The 3 person Brain House Jury gives points that will be added to the schools totals.

• Challenge D – “D’bate” [time 30 minutes] The apotheosis of the School Contest is the Debate Challenge. In this debate two teams of two persons (always boy|girl) fight each other. So 2 times, 2 teams engage. The 3 person Brain House Jury gives points that will be added to the schools totals. Each debate lasts 10 minutes.

The Preliminary Contests will be held on Thursday December 7th and Friday December  8th. The Gala will be on Monday January 1st.
 

During the preliminary contests, the final and the Gala night almost all sound and vision will be recorded by the Brain House crew (of the BHⁿ Network). The BHⁿ Network will edit all footage to make it suitable for broadcasting so these programs can be aired on the BHⁿ Network and possibly also on Regional and National Networks. Several sponsors of ours are already working to make such broadcastings possible, also because it is important for the Foundation that our goal (to make education entertaining and get more kids interested in acquiring knowledge) is being shared with all youth and parents of Nigeria. On the BHⁿ Network Youtube Channel most footage will be stored so it can be viewed by many generations to come. Participants will be first to promote this form of education.
