There is a pathway to the Scripps National Spelling Bee for every school in the United States that enrolls in the Bee at spellingbee.com. Every county is either sponsored by a local business or organization or feeds into a regional spelling bee program run by the Scripps National Spelling Bee office in Cincinnati, Ohio.
A sponsor is a business, community organization, college or university that signs a contract with our office agreeing to coordinate and pay for a spelling bee program for all schools within an area (a city, county or group of counties).
The responsibilities of an official sponsor include the following:
If you know of a business or community organization interested in becoming a sponsor, please have a representative contact us by completing our service request form at www.spellingbee.com/contact.
