Money, Cash...

For the school that claims victory in the 2022 WinterKids Winter Games, they will win their school $10,000 cash! The second-place school will receive $7,500 and another $5,000 will be given to the school finishing in third place. The press release did say that all schools participating will receive a cash award based on where they finish during the games.
