Virginia LifeSmarts Competition

Welcome to the Virginia LifeSmarts Competition

LifeSmarts...The Ultimate Consumer Challenge is an educational program that develops the consumer and marketplace skills of high school students in a fun way and rewards them for the knowledge they gain. The program complements any high school curriculum and can be used as an activity for classes, groups, clubs and community organizations.

LifeSmarts will test your consumer knowledge. Anyone can take the practice quiz and test their LifeSmarts. If you want to enter the official LifeSmarts 2009-2010 competition, you must meet certain criteria.

Winning state teams will be invited to represent their states at the national competition in Miami Beach, FL, April 24-27, 2010. The Virginia Competition will be held on March 5, 2010 at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond. The online version closes on February 5, 2010. To find out more about the Virginia Competition, visit the Virginia LifeSmarts web site here.

LifeSmarts is owned and operated by the National Consumers League and coordination is provided at the state level in partnership with other non-profit organizations and agencies.

Good luck! I hope that this is the year you will get involved with LifeSmarts.

Best regards,
Celia Ray Hayhoe, LifeSmarts State Coordinator
