International Academic Competitions is pleased to announce that the 2026 Online Spring Science Bee Regional Finals will be held on Friday, March 20. This tournament will run on our Spring Science Bee Question Set, and is open to all students who have qualified for it through the Online Regional Qualifying Exam (ORQE)!
Please note that this tournament will run on the Spring Science Question Set.
The ORQE is free of charge, and you can take it at any time. It is scored automatically, so you will know immediately if you have qualified. To take the ORQE, teachers or parents who will be giving their student(s) or child(ren) the exam must first register here. Once they have done so, they will be sent the link to the ORQE, and then students can then take the exam at any point as long as they are being proctored / invigilated by their sponsor.
Please see the Resources Page on the menu bar for examples of Science Bee questions.
The cost to compete in the Online Spring Science Bee is $40 USD per student; this must be paid in advance.
Top players in each division receive medals for Online Bee tournaments. Please note that it will typically take 1-4 months for awards to be received, as awards can only be handed out at in-person IAC tournaments or, on a limited basis, shipped. However, please note that shipping is only possible to the EU, UK, and Switzerland, and awards can only be shipped when our Executive Directors are physically in those countries.
Registration for this tournament is now open here for qualified students and will run through March 16. For further questions, please contact the International Academic Competitions European Director, Ms. Nolwenn Madden at nolwenn@iacompetitions.com. Thanks for your interest in our tournament, and we hope that you and your school will be able to join us!
