School teams must first compete at the state level. State CCDC champions will advance to the 2027 Erich J. Spengler Midwest Regional CCDC, held at Purdue University Northwest on March 19-20, 2027. The winner of the Midwest CCDC will then move on to the National CCDC, taking place May May 7-8, 2027.

Please note, only one application per team is required, and each campus may only send one team to compete. After submitting your application, your Midwest State CCDC Director will reach out with further details. No prior competition experience is necessary.

Teams are responsible for covering their own travel expenses. A $500 entry fee is required for teams advancing to the 2027 Midwest CCDC. Wildcards are open to all regions, and have a $100 fee per wildcard per team. Teams can compete in multiple wildcard events if they’d like. Multiple teams from the same school may compete in a wildcard event, but at different time slots.

States participating: Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Ohio, and Wisconsin.

Why Participate?

The Midwest CCDC events not only benefit the students involved, but will also benefit corporations as these graduates will be bringing a more experienced skill set to their jobs upon beginning their employment. This competition also provides direct feedback for schools to exercise, reinforce, and examine their security and information technology curriculum.
