The Biology Explorer Competition is an annual, online national competition that introduces students to general knowledge in Biology and the life sciences. Primary and secondary school students from all over Malaysia are invited to participate. The competition aims to instill interest in Biology, provide exposure to the field, and achieve the following objectives:

1. To identify, inspire, empower, and support the next generation of leaders in the life sciences.
2. To provide students with opportunities to apply their inquiry-based life science skills, developed through extracurricular activities, in real-world scenarios.
3. To equip students with Higher-Order Thinking Skills (HOTS), preparing them to tackle future challenges in an ever-evolving global life sciences landscape.

Each school is required to appoint at least one Teacher-In-Charge (TIC) responsible for handling registration, payment, and overseeing the competition day. The designated teacher must have a ContestHub account to ensure our secretary is informed that you are the TIC representing your school. To be officially recognized as the TIC, please reach out to our customer support team using the phone number provided in FAQs 16.

If your school participated in the Biology Explorer Competition Competition in 2026 and you are still teaching at the same school, you do NOT need to create a new ContestHub account. You can use your existing account to register for the upcoming competition by login using the same username and password. Kindly update your profile account.

For the Biology Explorer Competition, our system allows up to three teachers-in-charge to be assigned per school. If your school requires more than three teachers, please feel free to reach out to our support team for assistance.

To register your students, you must create a new account on ContestHub. If you register your students using a previous ContestHub account, we will assume that the students are from your previous school, and we will also assume that you are still a teacher there.

We do not have any minimum or maximum requirements for registration, as we warmly welcome all schools to participate in our competition.
