The 2021 Canadian Championships of the International Geography Bee will likely be held online on a weekend in late April or May 2020 in conjunction with the Canadian Championships of the International History Bee and Bowl. Once the date and host site have been secured, those will be posted here. As in past years, the Canadian Championships will consist of 3 preliminary rounds of buzzer-based quiz questions and 1 final round. The rules will be the same as those used in the International History Bee Canadian Championships; those rules can be found here. The cost to compete at the 2021 IGB Canadian Championships will be 45 CAD. Registration for the IGB Canadian Championships will be done here on the IHBB Canadian Championships registration page when available.
The champion students at the IGB Canadian Championships in each age division win $200 off in discounted admission to the IGB World Championships. If a student wins in both 2019 and 2020, then they can take $400 off in discounted admission.
