NAQT is now accepting writer applications

Prospective writers must be at least 18 years old when they apply. Applicants who will turn 18 between August 1 and October 31 (inclusive) of the year they apply may submit an application in June or July, specifying their birthdate; if they are hired, they will be able to start after turning 18.

Prospective writers must have, or be expected to have, a high school diploma (or equivalent) by August 1 of the year in which they apply.

Prospective writers must submit ten sample questions (tossups or three-part bonuses, at least three of each kind).

Prospective writers must not live in, regularly stay in, or be legal residents of California.

Application questions must never have been shown to any other person besides the applicant and NAQT.

Application questions must be the applicant’s original work, written without help from other people, AI tools, or similar resources. The use of standard reference material is acceptable (and encouraged).
Full details are available here.

Just a quick reminder that Wednesday, July 31st is the last day to submit a writer application to NAQT this summer. We've received a number of promising applications and would be thrilled to receive more!
