IDEA — international debate competitions & academies

Structured debate at every level — the most reliable way to build a law-facing record.

Who can enter: Secondary-school debaters worldwide — entry level to world championships
What it costs: Tournaments and academies carry fees that vary by event — some are free, the residential academies are not. Scholarships are sometimes offered.
When it closes: We could not confirm this year's date against the organiser's own page, so we are not showing a countdown for it. Last published: Tournaments and academies year-round.

Sending this to someone sends the four facts above, not just a name — they will see who can enter and what it costs before they decide.
