Challenge 2009 Season V

"Challenge" Season V Viewer Submitted Question Contest

KEDT's Challenge returns for its fifth season on Monday, November 9 - and you are invited to be part of the action!

Viewers could win two tickets to a live Challenge game by submitting a question to be asked of the students during a game.

Winning submitters will also have an option to be featured during a Challenge broadcast asking their question to the students. Don't worry - we'll videotape you in advance, and you will look marvelous!

So what type of question should you ask? Make it fun, and be sure the answer is correct too! Challenge emphasizes quick recall of factual material in all major disciplines -- math, science, social studies, language arts, and fine arts -- and a few questions about current events, movies and TV, sports and South Texas people, places and events.

Questions must be submitted through Caller.com no later than Wednesday, September 30, 2009 for consideration. You must provide your question, correct answer and contact information. Selected winners will be contacted by KEDT about the option of taping their question, and receive two tickets to a Challenge game taping. Tickets have no monetary value.
