Tell us what you think of Geography Challenge!

For the organisers, GC holds an entirely different meaning to us as compared to you, as a teacher i/c or participant for the competition. So we'll love to hear from you!

In no more than 100 words, leave a comment to tell us what you think the GC experience means to you! Be as creative as you want. Interesting posts will get to be quoted in our publications!

*It will be good to leave your Name and School, but it's fine if you're shy :)

CONGRATULATIONS to the top 30 schools!

The organizing committee for NUS Geography Challenge 2010 is proud to announce *drum rolls*





The next round for Geography Challenge will be Geo-Tunes round. For the Top 30 schools, submission for Geo-Tunes is compulsory as it constitutes 40% of the round 2 scores. However, schools that do not qualify in Top 30 can participate in the Geo-Tunes Open Category and stand to win attractive prizes. Please drop an email (contact.nusgc2010@gmail.com) to us to notify us of your interest in participation.

Geo-Trail and Grand Finals will be held on the 3rd April, Saturday 2010. The day will start with Geo-Trail commencing in the morning and Grand Finals will be in the evening from 1700-1900hr. We would like to recommend Top 30 schools to select an additional reserve participant in preparation for 3rd April in the event that any unforeseen situations should occur. More details about Geo-Trail and Grand Finals will be provided at a later date.
