The Mock Article V Convention is a competition between school delegations simulating a Convention of States called by Congress under Article V of the Constitution for the purpose of considering and proposing amendments to the U.S. Constitution. Each delegation will propose an amendment to the constitution and present it to the other delegations, answering questions, defending against objections, and asking for support.
A MAV team consists of 3-4 middle and high school students. The team should select a captain who will register the team. Teams are encouraged to give the topic of their proposed amendment at registration, but they may be added later. The team captain and an adult moderator or faculty adviser will receive updates about the event. A school may have more than one team.
Registration deadline is January 10, 2026.
