To participate, a student must pass one of the following exams between June 15, 2025, and May 30, 2026:

• Microsoft Word (Microsoft 365 Apps and/or Office 2019)
• Microsoft Excel (Microsoft 365 Apps and/or Office 2019)
• Microsoft PowerPoint (Microsoft 365 Apps and/or Office 2019)

If there are two or more students that submit the same high score, the winner will be determined based on exam completion time (the student with the lowest exam completion time will be the winner). To improve exam scores and completion time, students are encouraged to retake their MOS certification exams.

A student may take an eligible MOS exam as many times as they want/need to achieve their desired results, as long as the student is not in violation of the exam retake policy.

Once the testing deadline of May 30, 2026, is completed, CCI Learning will notify the potential winners via email. If communication is not received from the potential winner within 48 hours, they may be disqualified. If disqualified, an alternative potential winner may be selected from other qualifying exams following the same process and criteria.

To compete in the final round of the competition:

1. Students must be enrolled in an approved, accredited learning institution.
2. If you are an eligible minor (under 18), you must have permission from your parent or legal guardian to participate in the competition.
3. Have access to the Internet before and throughout the competition and qualify periods.
