Calling all middle school students! Share your ideas and flex your civics knowledge in the National Civics Bee®.
ABOUT THE BEE
The Arizona Chamber of Commerce & Industry and the Arizona Chamber Foundation are partnering with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation and four chambers of commerce across Arizona to host a nonpartisan statewide civics competition. The 2024-25 National Civics Bee® encourages young Americans in 6th, 7th, and 8th grade to engage in civics and contribute to their communities.
The competition, modeled on traditional spelling and geography bees, gives students the chance to win recognition and earn cash prizes by sharing ideas for improving their communities and showing their enthusiasm for civics. The winner of the National Civics Bee® Arizona State Finals will receive a trip to Washington, DC to compete in the National Civics Bee® national championship in Fall 2025.
