PART of the overall awareness campaign, aquiz is a form of game or mind sport in which the players (as individuals or in teams) attempt to answer questions correctly. Quizzes are also brief assessments used in education and similar fields to measure growth in knowledge, abilities, and/or skills.
Peer comment(s):
agree philgoddard : I would leave out "knowledge" - it's unnecessary. I think a liga del saber is a particular kind of quiz, but this is a good approximation.

Totally agree. As an occasional quizmaster, I don't think an AIDS or HIV awareness quiz will pull in many fans though ;)
agree peter jackson : Yes, I was thinking contest but quiz is better.

Dear MTM: Unfortunately, the context you provide is at a research level. Below you will find a link related to this term: http://www.gerza.com/dinamicas/categorias/todas/todas_dina/la_liga_saber.html A "liga del saber" is a sort of contest in which a panel makes a question about any subject class and any member of 2 different groups may answer the question.
