The maiden edition formed part of activities marking this year’s Ekumfi Atwa Festival and was held with permission from the Ekumfi District Education Directorate.
A statement copied to the Ghana News Agency on Monday said three schools participated: Ekumfi Atwa D/A Basic School, Ekumfi Ebuakwa D/A Basic School and Ekumfi Narkwa Methodist Basic School.
Ekumfi Atwa D/A Basic School emerged winners and received a trophy, stationery, certificates of merit and products from Twisco.
Ekumfi Narkwa Methodist Basic School placed second, while Ekumfi Ebuakwa D/A Basic School came third. Both received stationery, certificates and Twisco products.
All participating schools received certificates of participation.
Mr Edmund Tweneboa-Koduah, President of Voice of Atwa, thanked Ms Kafui Mary Ahlijah, District Director of Education, and the Directorate for granting permission for the competition.
He said the group hoped to make the quiz an annual feature of the festival to encourage learning and promote academic excellence among pupils in the area.
