The Tennessee Chamber of Commerce is partnering with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation and five chambers of commerce across Tennessee to host a first-of-its-kind 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 Tennessee State Finals will be invited to Washington, DC to compete in the inaugural National Civics Bee national championship in Fall 2025.
