About the Bee
Alabama Chambers is partnering with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation and 5 chambers of commerce across Alabama 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® Alabama State Finals will receive a trip to Washington, DC to compete in the National Civics Bee® national championship in November 10-11, 2025.
Why Civics?
We are hosting the National Civics Bee® Alabama State Finals 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 throughout Alabama and celebrating our civic pride.
