The AWQ competition has been organized  by Naples Council on World Affairs (NCWA) for more than a decade. The championship team, consisting of sophomores (from left, above, Bennett Bozman, Alex Ewy, Aaron Bozman and Luke Brown (coached by faculty member Nicholas Danyo, right), outperformed 84 students from 21 teams across six Collier County high schools.
