SEG Challenge Bowl

The SEG Challenge Bowl is an international, quiz-show–style competition for undergraduate and graduate geoscience students that tests breadth and depth of knowledge in geology, geophysics, geography, seismic methods and the history of the discipline. Teams of two SEG student members compete through local and regional qualifying events, with regional champions advancing to international finals held during the IMAGE meeting. The format includes short-answer and multiple-choice questions, category-based rounds and rapid-fire challenges at upper-level undergraduate to first-year graduate difficulty.

Opportunity to showcase geoscience knowledge, represent a university and student chapter, compete internationally, gain visibility within the global SEG community, and develop confidence and critical thinking skills.

Participants must be student members of SEG; teams consist of two students at the undergraduate or graduate level and may compete through their university or regional events.

Teams of two SEG student members participate in local qualifying events; winners advance to regional competitions and regional champions advance to the international finals at IMAGE. Local events are organized by universities or student chapters with SEG guidance and approval.
