The team advisor registers and submits one entry per school. Have your Virtual Tour and team information ready before you open the form. Submissions close November 15, 2026 (Pacific Time).
Before you open the form, make sure you have the following on hand.
Your school name, plus the name and email of the adult advisor submitting for the team.
Your team's division (grades 3–5, 6–8, or 9–12; all four students must be in the same division) and which of the seven challenges it chose. A team name is optional.
A title for the proposal and a short summary of what the team created, who it serves, and how it responds to the challenge. The summary gives judges context. It is not scored.
An MP4 video, 3 minutes or less, uploaded directly through the form. It walks judges through your build, Board, and NPC. Every team member's voice must be heard. With teacher approval, a student may contribute through captions or on-screen text instead of speaking. Teams do not submit their Minecraft world. See below for what judges want to see.
The advisor confirms that they reviewed the full rubric and the Virtual Tour is ready, and that required student permissions, including use of each student's voice and likeness, are on file with the school, district, or county office of education. The Level Up Civics Foundation does not collect permission forms.
Judges score the Virtual Tour using the Battle Prompt & Rubric for your team's challenge and division. A strong tour covers all four criteria, plus anything else your Battle Prompt asks for.
Name the need, strength, or opportunity your team addressed. Tell who your idea serves and why it matters.
Explain what you learned in the community and how it shaped your design. In grades 9–12, use your external source to justify key choices.
Walk judges through your build and its purposeful features. Show how the features work together as a solution.
Show your Board and NPC, and include every team member's voice. With teacher approval, a student may use captions or on-screen text instead of speaking.
One submission per school, completed by the team advisor. Registration and submission happen together in the Official Team Submission form. Submissions are visible to judges and admins only, and nothing is posted publicly without permissions.
