Calling All Middle School Students!
Share your ideas and flex your civics knowledge in the National Civics Bee®.
About the Civics Bee
The Kendallville Area Chamber of Commerce is partnering with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation to host a nonpartisan civics competition that encourages young Americans to engage in civics and contribute to their communities. Participating 6th, 7th and 8th graders will flex their civics knowledge for a chance to win recognition and cash prizes. Finalists will be invited to Washington, DC to compete in the National Civics Bee® national championship in Fall 2025.
How to Enter
Any 6th, 7th, or 8th grade student residing in Indiana with an idea about using civics to improve their community may submit their essay to participate in one local competition in their state. Students should review the Contest Rules and Essay Guide below and then apply using the following link: www.nationalcivicsbee.org
The application will open in Fall of 2024 and close in the Winter of 2025. We will be announcing the application deadline soon.
WHY CIVICS?
The Kendallville Area Chamber of Commerce is participating in the National Civics Bee® because we believe that informed and active citizens make for a strong country, a strong economy, and a strong workforce, and that our continued prosperity depends on the strength of all three. Through the Bee, we are promoting greater civic knowledge in Indiana and celebrating our civic pride.
