Local Norfolk high school juniors, seniors, and college freshmen are chosen through an essay contest that demonstrates their knowledge of NATO and its member Nations to serve as Student Diplomats in the Norfolk NATO Festival. As Student Diplomats, they will each represent one of the 28 NATO member nation's interests in the Model NATO Challenge, a spirited debate modeled after real NATO problem solving techniques.

The top 6 candidates will receive a scholarship award to be applied to the college/university of their choice.
