The anniversary educational event will take place on November 16 and 17 all over the world and even on the International Space Station. The dictation will take place in two formats:  offline  and  online. Traditionally, the tasks will be drawn up in four versions, divided into two parts. The first part of the 10 questions is a "geographical educational program" based on well—known facts. The second part of the 30 questions will require the use of imaginative thinking, logic and erudition.

Both experts and a wide audience took an active part in the preparation of the tasks.

Geographical dictation has been held annually since 2015. Assessing the level of geographical literacy is not the main task of the campaign. It is educational in nature and is aimed at popularizing geographical knowledge, as well as increasing interest in science and national heritage.

Over the entire history of Geographical Dictation, more than 3.6 million people took part in it.
