Most prestigous national competitions

<p>I was wondering if anyone can give me a list, in order, of the most prestigous national competitions - anything that is not science/math related please.</p>

<p>Davidson fellow</p>

<p>ya i checked that out. but i hate that nomiator crap. why do i need a nominator to participate? i dont get it.</p>

<p>Scholastic Writing/Art Awards?</p>

<p>Jason--You need a nominator basically to write a recommendation letter, of sorts, from what I understand (I only just now read through the Davidson site). The value of that should be obvious.</p>

<p>well, there are the national debate competitions. i think the org is called national forensics association.</p>
