They are also asked to pick one member country of the \u201ceuro area\u201d, to examine an economic problem at the country level, and to identify policies for responding to that problem.<\/p>\n

After preliminary rounds, the winning school’s team will travel (expenses paid) to New York City, where the national finals are held. Top teams in the national Euro Challenge win cash prizes<\/a> and a trip to Washington, D.C. to visit the European Union Delegation (embassy).<\/p>\n

Teams of three to five students are asked to make presentations answering specific questions about the European economy and the euro currency, and identify policies to address problems in their chosen euro-zone member state. After preliminary rounds, the winning school’s team will travel (expenses paid) to New York City, where the national finals are held.
