help National Geographic Bee FAQ
Was the National Geographic GeoBee open to students in grades 4 through 12?
The historic National Geographic GeoBee was aimed mainly at students in grades 4 through 8, not grades 4 through 12. The current National Geography Bee is a separate program for high-school students in grades 9 through 12.
Is the original National Geographic GeoBee still held?
The original GeoBee is no longer running as an active National Geographic competition. National Geographic's 2020-2021 notice canceled that season and referred to the program's 33-year history while the organization considered a new geography experience.
Was participation in the National Geographic Bee always free?
Not necessarily. National Geographic's 2020 notice referred to schools that had paid a registration fee and said those schools would receive a refund, so the catalog's blanket free-participation claim is too broad.
What is the current National Geography Bee listed online?
The National Geography Bee at nationalgeobee.org is an independent competition and is not affiliated with National Geographic. Its guidelines target grades 9 through 12 and describe five early rounds in which questions are worth one point each.
