Geography Bee

The National Geographic Bee is a school competition for students in any grades four through eight. Excite your students about the world around them and reward those who excel in their knowledge of geography by giving them a chance to compete in a school geographic bee.

Schools registered by October 15, 2006 will receive their contest materials in early November. School level Bees can be held up to January 12, 2007. Go to www.nationalgeographic.com/geographicbee to get complete information and other dates and deadlines.

Principals must register their schools to receive the contest materials necessary to conduct a school level Bee. All we need is a letter on school letterhead, signed by the principal, with the $60 registration fee (check or purchase order made out to National Geographic). The registration is not refundable, so make sure the school registers only once. If paying by purchase order, note that when the school sends payment on the PO it must be clear that the check is payment on a PO that was sent earlier so that the school will not be entered twice in the system.

Mail the registration letter and fee, in the same envelope, to:

National Geographic Bee, National Geographic Society, 1145 17 th Street, NW ,
Washington , DC 20036-4688 .
