Oahu

International Academic Competitions is pleased to announce the 2023 Oahu History Bee and Bowl, taking place at the Iolani School in Honolulu, HI on October 14th, 2023!  This tournament will run on our C 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. 

To register, please fill out the form below.  Preregistration closes on October 6th at 11:59 pm EST.  Teams and individuals can still register with a late fee until October 9th, after which Bowl registrations are no longer guaranteed. After October 9th, contact hs-info@iacompetitions.com to see if registration is still possible.  Late registration fees and policies can be found here.  For further information, please email the Tournament Coordinator, Marshall Mullins at hs-info@iacompetitions.com. Thanks, and we look forward to welcoming you to Honolulu in October!

Exams: During the lunch break, 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.

Note for middle/elementary students: This event is held concurrently with the 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 Final portion, they should sign up here.

Middle and elementary school teams are welcome to participate at this tournament in the History Bowl. If there are at least four middle/elementary school teams that take part, a separate middle school division of the bowl will be set up.  Otherwise, middle/elementary school teams will be entered in the JV division of the Bowl.

If they choose, during the History Bee rounds, middle school students are welcome to participate in the Junior Varsity Division of the History Bee, and if they qualify, would qualify for the Varsity/JV National Championships, not the Elementary/Middle School National Championships. There is no separate division of the National History Bee at this tournament for middle/elementary school students; those students interested in competing in the National History Bee at their grade level should email ems-info@iacompetitions.com.

Schedule:  The schedule as listed below is considered tentative, and therefore may still be subject to slight changes based on turnout until registration closes, at which point it will be confirmed. Students and teams looking for further guidance on the schedule should contact the Tournament Coordinator at hs-info@iacompetitions.com.
