Quiz Bowl

Since 2006, the Crescenta Valley “Zartonk” Chapter has hosted a special educational Quiz Bowl, pitting chapters against one another in a friendly competition over such topics as history, culture, and current events. Participants train for the competition months in advance in what is perhaps the most anticipated educational event on the AYF’s yearly calendar.

Past Quiz Bowl themes have included the February Rebellion of 1921, the rebirth of Armenian nationalism during the Soviet Era, the role of women in the Armenian revolutionary movement, and the Armenian Zartonk (political/cultural awakening) of the 18th and 19th century.

This year’s Quiz Bowl will be held on March 14th at the Crescenta Valley Armenia Center. The focus of the evening will be on the meaning and history behind the names of each AYF chapter in the Western Region.
