For the 23rd year, the National Geographic Society is holding the National Geographic Bee for students in the fourth through eighth grades in thousands of schools across the United States and in the five U.S. territories, as well as in Department of Defense Dependents Schools around the world. The 2011 Bee is sponsored by Google.
Congratulations to Far Hills Country Day School seventh grader Andrew Zaiser who won this year's Geo Bee after a fierce twelve question tie-breaker against sixth grader Bobby Mulcahy. Andrew will advance to the next level of competition, a written examination to determine state competitors. All school winners are eligible to win the national championship and its first prize, a $25,000 college scholarship, at the national competition taking place May 24 and 25, 2011 in Washington, D.C..
