The Annual Scrabble Municipal Schools Competition is our flagship event — but throughout the year we run school clubs, training sessions and friendly tournaments.
Theme: "Reigniting students' love for education through gamification."
Junior high schools across Tarkwa go head-to-head across multiple rounds for the championship cup, plus prizes for top boards and individual high-scorers.
Championship trophy for the winning school, individual medals, certificates of participation, and surprise prizes for the highest single-word score and the best sportsmanship award.
A full Saturday of word battles, learning and celebration.
Schools check in, teams get their official Scrabbleton tee, and players settle into their boards. Coaches and parents grab refreshments.
National anthem, welcome by the organising committee, and a few words from our headline sponsors at the GoldFields Foundation.
Three rounds of team play — every school plays multiple opponents, with rolling leaderboards displayed for the audience.
A quick crowd-favourite spelling round for spectators while finalists are confirmed.
Top four teams advance — knockout stage, with live commentary from our adjudicators.
Trophy presentation, individual prizes, a group photo to remember, and a thank-you to our sponsors and volunteers.
