BOWLING GREEN, Ky. (AP) — Dozens of Kentucky students will be tested on their knowledge of geography this week as they vie for a chance to compete in the National Geographic Bee later this spring in Washington, D.C.
The state competition takes place Friday in Bowling Green, with 100 students ages 10 to 14 competing.
The state winner will receive $100 and an all-expenses-paid trip to Washington to represent Kentucky in the national championship May 11 through 13, when a $50,000 college scholarship will be at stake.
The National Geographic Society organizes the annual bee.
