Venue registration for the anniversary, 10th, Geographical Dictation, the in-person part of which will take place on November 16 and 17, has been extended until November 13. More than 8,500 venues are already available to the participants of the large-scale campaign, but there is still time to join the most popular project of the Russian Geographical Society.
Over the 10 years of the Geographical Dictation, it has been taken by millions of people in 129 countries around the world. This year, venues in Russia, abroad, and even in space have joined the project again: an orbital station, high-altitude hotels, Arctic bases of polar explorers, a nuclear icebreaker, and many others.
The in-person Geographical Dictation of 2024 will be held on November 16 and 17. It will be possible to take it remotely only on November 16, from 12:00 to 13:00, local time. A demo version is already available, where you can try your hand right from home by answering 40 questions in 45 minutes.
For the first time, most of the questions of the anniversary Geographical Dictation were created not by professionals, but by amateur authors. The contest "Write Your Question for the Geographical Dictation" gathered more than 1,260 questions from 18 countries. The organizers selected the best of them, including them in the main version.
