Welcome!

The 16th annual University of Toronto National Biology Competition will  be held at participating schools on Thursday, April 29, 2010.

Over 78,000 high school students have participated in the competition since 1995, from across Canada and around the world. We hope the students in your school will participate this year.

General information about the coming competition is available under the 2010 Competition tab above.

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 at $2,000. The top five schools each receive a Certificate of Excellence.
