The 20th annual University of Toronto National Biology Competition will be held at participating schools on Thursday, April 24, 2014.

The aim of the competition is to provide all high school students with an opportunity to test their knowledge and understanding of biology. We encourage participation of younger students, especially those in Grade 11. Top students receive cash prizes and certificates designating them as National Biology Scholars. Admission scholarships will be awarded to the top 10 students to register in the Faculty of Arts and Science at the University of Toronto (St. George), valued in the recent past at $2,000. (The value of this scholarship will increase for the 2014 competition.) The top five schools each receive a Certificate of Excellence.

If your school is not in our school directory, a coordinator (teacher) may create a permanent school account. A school account is required for registration; it will also ensure that your school is on our contact list when we announce the opening of registration for the 2014 competition.

We look forward to your school's participation in the National Biology Competition!
