Battle of the States is a virtual and asynchronous set of individual Science Olympiad event competitions. It will be administered using the Scilympiad platform throughout December 2026, January 2027, and February 2027. This competition is open to teams in select states to be confirmed later this summer.
Each event will be open for two weeks so your team can choose the time that best works for you to either take the timed test or make the required submissions.
We do not rank teams overall. Ribbons will be awarded to the best performers in each event by state, and medals for overall best performers are available for purchase.
A low registration fee will grant admission to every event offered by the competition. The fee is $30, unless you are a team in your first two years of Science Olympiad, in which case you can participate for $5.00. Feel free to participate in as many or as few events as your team would like, since we will not be ranking teams overall. We will keep registration open throughout the tournament as long as there is room for more teams, so your team can still register even if you miss the early sessions.
This competition is hosted by the Michigan Science Olympiad state organization. Our event supervisors include State and National officials. Exams and instructions are reviewed and prepared to provide high-quality practice experiences for your team.
