The aim of the article is to determine the spatial differentiation of iGeo results and to identify its key determinants. Using inferential statistics, we compared contestant success in this competition from 2015 to 2023. The findings indicate significant differences in performance, with states in different macroregions reflecting different levels of success on the written, fieldwork and multimedia tests. The findings highlight the influence of economic, educational and urbanization factors on geographical knowledge and skills, suggesting a complex interplay of regional characteristics affecting student outcomes. Therefore, a broad-based approach to geographical education is required to account for the diverse factors contributing to spatial differences in student performance.
