Upon registration, a study guide with information on natural resource topics and a list of suggested resource materials and contacts will be sent to each team.

There is a resource problem to be researched during the school year and presented by the team before a panel of judges during the competition.

A schedule of activities on the day of the competition will be sent to each team in advance for travel preparations.

The winning team becomes eligible to compete in the Cannon Envirothon. The second place team will compete if the first place team cannot attend.
