The NSMQ is in its 31st year, and since then, it has only been held in two cities in two regions in Ghana.
Until 2020, the NSMQ was always hosted at the University of Ghana, and the finals were held at the National Theatre.
However, in recent years, the competition has been held at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) in the Ashanti Region.
On the 30th anniversary, the preliminaries were held at KNUST, but the grand finale was held at the National Theatre in Accra.
Presec Legon was victorious in the contest, leading to the school’s eighth NSMQ win and second consecutive back-to-back win.
