In 2022, we announced IBS World Tour, the English Trivia competition in collaboration with Emirates. The competition is open to Hungarian secondary school students in their final year and in their 11th grade. The format of the competition is as follows: students will have to complete a 100-question quiz and write an essay in the first round. The 10 best candidates will progress to the second round where they have to proceed with a quiz that consists of 100 questions followed by a presentation. Both rounds will take place on the IBS campus. The top three winners will win a trip with different conditions.
Timeline:
The first round was held on 18 March 2022, when more than 200 students from all over Hungary participated.
The second round took place on 22 April 2022 on campus.
The official award ceremony was on 27 May 2022.
Winners:
- The 1st place winner was Domonkos Varga, who spent one week in New Zealand with her sister.
- The 2nd place winner, Rozi Szabó spent a 1-week trip in London with her friend. Check out her journey here.
