March 16

International Academic Competitions is pleased to announce the 2024 Southern Pennsylvania History Bee, taking place at Somerset Jr/Sr High School in Somerset, PA on March 16th, 2023! This tournament will run on our A Set of questions, and like all IAC Varsity and Junior Varsity events, is open to all students, regardless of what state they are from, as long as they have not yet played this set of questions in the 2023-2024 academic year. **PLEASE NOTE THERE WILL BE NO HISTORY BOWL AT THIS TOURNAMENT**

To register, please fill out the form below. For further information, please email the Tournament Coordinator, Sara DelVillano at sara@iacompetitions.com. Thanks, and we look forward to welcoming you to Somerset in March!

Exams: After the Bee, we will offer the National Qualifying Exams for the US Geography Championships / National Geography Bee (one exam serves to qualify students for the National Championships of both competitions), the US History Bee, the National Political Science Bee, and the National Science Bee. All exams cost $15 each. Students can also qualify for the International Geography Championships (Vienna, Austria – July 13-20, 2024) and the International Environmental Science Olympiad (Puerto Rico – Dec. 27-31, 2024) through the Geography and Science National Qualifying Exams.

Note for middle/elementary students: This event is held concurrently with an Elementary/Middle School Regional Final at the same location. Middle and Elementary students must commit to either this Varsity/JV Regional or the EMS Regional Final for the whole day; they cannot hop between them. For instance, a student cannot take part in the History Bowl or JV division of the History Bee and then take part in the National Science Bee Regional Final. If a student wishes to sign up for the Regional Finals (History/Science/Geography Bees for grades K-8), they should sign up here.

Per the rules found at (https://www.iacompetitions.com/costs/) on point F, you must bring a reader for every one or two teams that enter. So, if you are bringing one or two teams, you need one reader, for three or four teams, you need two readers, etc. For every reader you do not bring, IAC will need to hire a reader at the price of $99 each to ensure the tournament runs correctly, therefore your team will be charged $99 per missing reader. Solo teams do not need to bring readers, nor do students who are participating in only the Bee and/or National Qualifying Exams.
