2022 Schools Competition Fees:
Fees for DAV programs are structured around a sliding scale, based on the number of teams you enter.

$290 per team |
Teams 5-6 |

$470 per team |
| Teams 9-10 | $540 per team |
Please note - team registration in the Schools Competition is capped at a maximum of 10 teams per grade. In some regions this cap will be lower than 10 teams in order to provide opportunity for as many schools as possible to participate.
In addition to these fees, all schools are required to pay an annual membership fee to participate in DAV competitions. This is a one-off annual payment for all DAV competitions, so if your school has already participated in the Schools Competition this year, you will not be required to pay again:
