which are open to participants of all ages.

“The QFI is one of the oldest quizzing communities in India, and so the QFI Open Quiz is
one of the most entertaining, informative quizzes around,” says R. Jayakanthan, QFI

we hope to make it a very special success.”

Attractive prizes for the top three teams in every quiz, special school team prizes, as well
