I really only know about the math contests, but the ones I've heard of are Math Kangaroo, MOEMS, Mathcounts, and the AMC contests. We've done the Math Kangaroo and are planning to do the AMC 8 this year.

I did a Google search of the forums. A lot of the older threads have contests that no longer exist. I figured it was good to have a current listing.

National Latin Exam

My dd participated in regional Olympiadas of Spoken Russian.  Olympiada of Spoken Russian - ACTR  She did it, however, with her Russian teacher.  I don't know if you can do it independently or not.  They also offer a National Russian Essay Contest.  (again, she did it through her teacher.)  There is a new test, though, offered through NEWL. I haven't looked into it overly much bc my current Russian student is only in 6th grade, but it is offered through American Councils and I think any student can take these tests.  NEWL | American Councils

Thank you.

As people add contests, competitions, and exams that are still existent, perhaps you could compile them into your first post -- maybe even group them. 😄

Looks like AoPS lists both National and State Math competitions -- don't know how many of those are still valid...

These blog articles were all published in the past 1, 2, or 4 years:
- Davidson Institute: "List of Academic Competitions for Gifted Students"
- We Are Teachers: "Big List of Student Contests and Competitions"
- Kudos Wall: "50 Competitions Every Student Should Know About"

NAQT allows homeschool co-ops and homeschool families to participate in their Middle and High School trivia competitions, including (if qualified by tournament performance) the national school and individual championships.
