Welcome to the Junior USA Earth 2026 – 10th Anniversary Celebration where we will be crowning 5 national titleholders in each age division!
Age Divisions
- Young USA Earth: 5-8
- Preteen USA Earth: 9-12
- Jr. Teen USA Earth: 13-16
Making the Top 5 in any competition is always something to be celebrated. Because we believe this wholeheartedly, we have 5 national titles up for grabs: 1 Overall and 4 Elemental titles: Air, Fire, Water, Eco. Should there be more than 5 delegates in a division, runners up will be recognized as well. Elemental titles are awarded based primarily on the delegate’s platform/green initiative and do not carry a placement. If there are more than 5 delegates in a division, then finalists/runners-up will be announced.
