LifeSmarts National Consumer Program Competition

LifeSmarts is the National Consumers League's free consumer-literacy competition. Five-student teams study personal finance, consumer rights and responsibilities, technology, health and safety, and the environment, then compete through online quizzes and state pathways. National finalists complete individual and team contests, buzzer matches, and applied projects; the 2026 championship required an educational over-the-counter medicine-safety video and an Intuit personal-finance activity before the event. The annual season launches in early September and national competition occurs in spring.
