Regional Tournaments

For the 2021-2022 school year, we anticipate running both the Bee and Bowl running a hybrid model with only online for 2021 tournaments and a mix of in-person sites and a Pan-European Regional in the Winter. We will use two separate sets of questions; schools can thus attend up to two regional tournaments as long as the questions are different. At the European Championships students can also participate in the International Geography Bee Championships.

Championship Qualification

The top students and teams will also qualify for our 2022 IHBB and IGB European Championships in Basel, Switzerland, the 2022 IGB World Championships, and the 2022 International History Olympiad being held in the USA. Qualification for both the Championships and the Olympiad can take place at any regional tournament.
