Arkansas

The National History Bee and Bowl is pleased to announce that the Arkansas History Bee and Bowl will debut at Watson Chapel High School in Pine Bluff, AR on Saturday, February 23, 2013. We look forward to another great day of history quiz competition to supplement the strong AGQBA circuit that exists in the state already. Please check this page periodically for updates on the tournament, including a list of registered teams. If you have any further questions, please don’t hesitate to contact the Tournament Coordinator. Thanks for your interest in our tournament, and we hope to see you in Pine Bluff in January!

Update 10/18: During the lunch break, interested students will have an opportunity to compete in the Regional Qualifying Exam for the United States Geography Challenge. This consists of a 50 question multiple choice test; students who place in the top half at their site, or in the top half overall nationally, can compete in the National Championships of the US Geography Challenge on Friday, April 26 in Arlington, VA, before the National Championships of the National History Bee and Bowl begins. The top four students in the Varsity (i.e. born prior to July 1, 1997) will get a chance to compete at the International Geography Olympiad in Kyoto, Japan next summer.
