The National Geographic GeoBee is an annual competition designed to inspire and reward students' curiosity about the world.
Students in grades four through eight (4-8) from nearly 10,000 schools across the United States will compete in the 2020 National Geographic GeoBee for a chance to win college scholarships and the glory of being the National Geographic GeoBee Champion.
The National Geographic GeoBee includes three levels of competition; school, state, and national. Schools conduct a GeoBee and name a school champion. The school champion takes a proctored online qualifying test and the top 100 ranked students in each state qualify to represent their school at the state level GeoBee competition. State champions then travel to National Geographic headquarters in Washington, D.C., to compete in the national championship.
