All 6th, 7th and 8th grade students in public, private and home schools in Kentucky are invited to compete in the Western Kentucky Regional competition of the 2024 National Civics Bee, an initiative of the U.S. Chamber Foundation.
The National Civics Bee is aimed at encouraging more young Americans to engage in civics and contribute to their communities. Plus, students could win cash and prizes and earn bragging rights for their school!
Students can apply by submitting a 500-word essay using the prompt below: Identify a problem facing your community. How might a citizen solve the problem?
To submit an essay, visit https://bit.ly/3MLa5PN or learn more at paducahchamber.org/ncb. There you will find a downloadable parent and student guide, and a video of what it’s like to compete in a National Civics Bee. The deadline for essays is January 8, 2024.
After the application portal closes on January 8, the essays will be reviewed by a panel of judges and the top 20 students in Western Kentucky will be selected to test their civics knowledge and compete in the regional, live quiz competition to be held at The Carson Center in Paducah on April 20, 2024.
The finalists and top winners will receive various prizes, including $500 cash for the first-place student. The top three winners from the Western Kentucky competition will then have a chance to compete against other middle school students from across the state at the Kentucky Chamber state competition in Louisville. And – for the first time this year – all state level winners will advance to the national championship in Washington D.C.
Thank you, Paducah Police Department and Officers Morgan and Ravens, for caring for our students!
