International History Bee & Bowl

Canadian Division

2024-2025 Competition Season

The International History Bee and Bowl (IHBB) are two academic quiz competitions with a history focus (the Bee is for individual students, the Bowl is for teams) that are held throughout Canada and around the world each school year. Founded in 2010, IHBB organizes events now in over 50 countries, including the annual Canadian Championships and the biennial International History Olympiad (next held in 2025) and International Geography Championships (next held in 2026). IHBB is administered by International Academic Competitions, an organization that oversees competitions for over 100,000 students around the world each year.
