Join the world’s fastest-growing and most exciting international English contest—the KGL Contest! We invite you to be part of this rewarding experience and connect with a global community of students, teachers and schools passionate about learning English.
The KGL Contest is organized by the International Testing Authority (ITA), delivering high-quality assessments that are both fair and challenging.
The KGL Contest offers more than just a chance to identify top performers; it is designed to motivate and support all students, especially those who may not always have the opportunity to demonstrate their abilities. Here’s what makes the contest stand out:
The contest is open to students up to the age of 17 who are learning English as a foreign language, encouraging participation from across the globe.
The KGL Contest creates a stimulating and enjoyable environment, helping students improve their language skills while competing in a fun and rewarding way.
All participants, regardless of their final standing, receive certificates recognizing their efforts. After Stage 1, all contestants are awarded a certificate with their overall performance, while Stage 2 participants earn a Certificate of Achievement. Finalists and top performers receive further recognition with finalist, 2nd place, 3rd place, and commended certificates.
Exciting prizes are awarded to 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners at the national and level, recognizing their outstanding achievements.
Selected finalists from national stages have the opportunity to compete at the prestigious Global Event, where the top 12 participants in levels A1, A2, B1, and B2 are awarded global winner prizes.
Additionally, the highest-scoring participant is awarded the Overall Global Winner title, along with the Global Event Trophy and the Overall Global Winner Award.
The contest is offered at levels Pre-A1, A1, A2, B1, and B2, ensuring that students are assessed at the appropriate level in alignment with the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR).
Schools and teachers supporting top-performing students are celebrated for their excellence. Schools with participants advancing to Stage 2 are ranked among the top 10% of schools globally in the contest. Additionally, schools with selected finalists can send a representative teacher to the Global Event. Schools may earn Platinum, Gold, or Silver status through the KGL International School Partner program, which serves as a mark of distinction for fostering academic achievement.
