2019 IHBB European Championships to be held in Paris on 24-26 May!
For its eighth annual European Championships, International Academic Competitions is delighted to return to the site of its second championships back in 2013; the International School of Paris! From 24-26 May, we will contest six different competitions and also take an excursion to the palace of Versailles on Friday morning. There our first competition will take place that afternoon, with our History Bee of Versailles – a competition entirely on French history played outside the most august surroundings in all France (or perhaps all Europe). Later that afternoon we will hold the Academic Bowl of Europe, with our annual Sports and Entertainment Bee and International Geography Bee European Championships to follow on Saturday morning. Afterwards, our International History Bee European Championships will take place on Saturday afternoon and early evening, and our International History Bowl European Championships will then conclude the weekend and take place on Sunday. Registration is now open here and will run through May 16 for all events. We hope you and your team will be able to join us! Full details are available here.

Congratulations to our 2018 IHBB European Champions!
(11 June, 2018) The International History Bee and Bowl held its seventh annual European Championships in Prague on 8-10 June, 2018, with Novy PORG as the host venue for all competitions aside from the History Bee of Bohemia (which was played on questions on the history of the Czech Republic outside in Prague’s Old Town Square and on the historic Charles Bridge!). Thanks to Mr. Zach Barnes of Novy PORG for coordinating the hosting arrangements and to everyone who came and played or assisted with the tournament. Congratulations to our many champions and we look forward to seeing all teams and students back in 2018-2019 for IHBB’s eighth year! We’ll likely be adding a few additional regional tournaments, and we will be posting information on our 2019 European Championships in this spot as soon as the dates and venue are secured. We’re also looking forward to the 2018 International History Olympiad in Berlin this summer as well! Have a great summer, and we’ll see you next competition year!
