Compete!

Below you will find all the documents you need to participate and do well at the Oregon High School Ethics Bowl. Many are directly from the National High School Ethics Bowl (NHSEB) site. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions.

Registration

Registration is a two-part process.

First, schools should be registered with the NHSEB by November 11th, 2023. Click here to register with the NHSEB. On the national site there is an online registration system that will allow schools to instantly register using a credit card. If a schools enters more than one team, it still counts as one school for the purposes of registration fees. Registration is $125 per school and 100% of the fees are used to finance team food, hotel, and travel arrangements at the national bowl.

Second, please note that registration for the OHSEB is separate and important to enable  us to plan our event. In order to register for the OHSEB regional bowl, please fill out this form and email it to Professor Alex Sager at asager@pdx.edu.
