The **KYVE Apple Bowl** is a regional televised academic quiz competition for high school teams in the Yakima and Tri‑Cities region of Washington State and nearby Northern Oregon. Produced by **KYVE-TV** in Yakima (and historically KVEW-TV in the Tri-Cities), the Apple Bowl pits school teams against each other in fast-paced rounds of questions across subjects such as history, science, literature, math, and current events. Participation is typically organized at the **school level**: students join their school’s academic/knowledge bowl, quiz bowl, or similar team, and the school then registers with the station to appear in the televised tournament. The competition gives students experience with buzzer-based quiz formats, public speaking, and quick recall under pressure, as well as the chance to represent their school on regional television. While exact participation rules can vary slightly by year, the Apple Bowl is aimed at **high school students (grades 9–12)** in the station’s viewing area. There is generally no entry fee for schools, making it an accessible academic opportunity that showcases academic achievement and encourages teamwork.
