World Quizzing Championships 2015

The 2015 edition of the World Quizzing Championships will be held in Bangalore on Saturday, 6 June 2015. The venue is St. Joseph’s College, Langford Road, Bangalore.

The event will commence at 3 pm, and requires the taker to attempt two packs of questions. Each pack contains four topics, and the taker is allowed an hour in which to attempt the questions–thus two hours for writing, and an extra hour for corrections and so on. The quiz is open to solo contestants, of all ages.

KQA will provide prizes in the Open, College, School (up to Std XII) and Ladies categories. Each topic winner will also get a book coupon. Please register ASAP. An entry fee of Rs. 100/- per person will be collected at the venue.

You can register below.
