What it is

BiOClash is an original biology competition — not a translated IBO/USABO paper archive like BiOrchive, but questions written and reviewed by BiOGuide itself. It's the one part of this site where the content is genuinely ours, not a licensed reproduction.

Right now, it's still being built. Here's what we're planning, and how to hear the moment it's ready.

What's being planned

• Format Planning timed, solo rounds — heavily scrutinized and difficult.
• Scope Aiming to cover the full IBO syllabus.
• Frequency Open seasons planned for spring and fall, with invitational rounds aimed at December and June.
• Recognition Podium finishers may be recognized with an honorary Junior Partner position at BiOGuide.

Why it exists

Plenty of biology competitions already exist — but most are institutional, expensive to access, or slow to modernize. BiOGuide itself runs on the same principles as everything else here: non-commercial, built by students, for students. BiOClash is that same approach applied to the competition format itself, not just notes and papers.

Get involved

BiOClash is green-field — nothing is set in stone yet. If you'd want to help design questions, write rounds, or shape the format, this is one of the most open-ended ways to join as a Content Reviewer or Partner. Reach out: resourcerepository4boguide@gmail.com.
