A: What is iGeo, the official team and test structure, and how national selection works.
TL;DR
The International Geography Olympiad sits under the International Geographical Union, and the current statutes cap each delegation at four students plus two team leaders IGU iGeo Statutes.
The official test guidelines set the scoring split at 40 percent Written Response, 20 percent Multimedia, and 40 percent Fieldwork iGeo test guidelines (Apr 2025).
