The purpose of the WREG-sponsored Knowledge Bowl is “to encourage learning, support local education, give positive recognition for schools and students and reward academic excellence.” The competition takes place in five rounds of single-elimination competition between 9th through 12th Grade students from 32 Memphis/Shelby County high schools.
Each Knowledge Bowl team answers questions on topics that are a mixture of academic and nonacademic areas including science, literature, history, math, geography, music, art and current events.
