Regional Tournaments

For the 2019-2020 school year, we anticipate running both the Bee and Bowl at 12-15 regional tournament sites throughout Europe. We will use two separate sets of questions; schools can thus attend up to two regional tournaments as long as the questions are different. During the lunch break, students can also take the International Geography Bee Championships Qualifying Exam.

Championship Qualification

The top students and teams will also qualify for our 2020 IHBB and IGB European Championships on 5-7 June, 2019 in Basel, Switzerland, the 2020 IGB World Championships, and the 2020 International History Olympiad. Qualification for both the Championships and the Olympiad can take place at any regional tournament.
