American and European Divisions

Curious to learn more about our other competitions? Have a look at the different competitions of our American and European Divisions shown here:

National History Bowl: www.historybowl.com
The National History Bowl’s American Division consists of approximately 80 qualifying tournaments in the 2012-2013 competition season, culminating in our National Championships in Washington, DC on Saturday, 27 April, 2013. We play our National Championship matches at embassies, museums, and historic sites in Washington, DC – all teams who qualify for the European Championships by finishing in the top half of either the Junior Varsity or Varsity draws are also welcome to join us in Washington, DC for one of the world’s largest academic tournaments with roughly 200 teams expected this year.

National History Bee – High School Competition: www.hs.historybee.com
Our National History Bee for high school students in the USA is very similar to our Bee in Europe, except that, as with the Bowl, about 50% of the questions deal with American history.  The National Championships will be contested on Sunday, 28 April, 2013  and all students who finished in the top half of their draw in the Bee at their European Bees are welcome to take part, providing they are able to cross the ocean to join us!

National History Bee – Elementary & Middle School Competition: www.historybee.com
We’ve also established a division of The National History Bee for elementary & middle school students (i.e. 8-14 year olds) in the USA. The National Championships of our Middle School Competition will be televised on HISTORY (R) next spring.

National History Bee & Bowl – European Division: www.nhbbeurope.com
In the 2011-2012 school year, The National History Bee and Bowl launched its European Division, with tournaments in France, Spain, Portugal, Italy, and Switzerland, leading to the European Championships in the South of France. This year, we will also add tournaments in England and Germany as well, and our European Championships will be held in Paris in the spring. If you know of anyone attending school in Europe who might be interested in attending one of our tournaments, please pass the word along!
