Entomology Games

The Entomology Games Committee is organizing a virtual entomology quiz competition, to be held two weeks before the annual meeting. This virtual game will be open to everyone (students, staff, faculty, etc.) that did not qualify to play in this year’s National Entomology Games in Denver. Players can compete individually or as a team. A link to the quiz will be provided on Monday October 18, and players will have until Wednesday October 20 to submit their answers. A live Zoom event will be held on Thursday October 21 to announce the results and celebrate the winners. Further information on the rules, and on how to sign up, will be provided in the coming weeks.

The Entomology Games is a college-bowl-style contest in which student teams from competing universities test their entomological knowledge by answering questions on insect science.

This year’s Entomology Games seek to ensure a fair, fun competition for all participants and an enjoyable event for virtual attendees! The ESA Entomology Games Committee has been adaptable and creative to develop the guidelines for our annual competition. Some aspects of the competition will feel familiar, but some will be quite different than the in-person competition. A single preliminary round with all teams competing will be conducted. The teams advancing from the preliminary round will compete in a final, synchronous round that will be showcased during the virtual ESA Meeting.
