2024 National Civics Bee®

The Greater Muncie Chamber of Commerce is partnering with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation to host a first-of-its-kind 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.

You’re invited to join us in celebrating the talented finalists in our community in a live quiz event.

The National Civics Bee® is an annual competition that encourages young Americans to engage in civics and contribute to their communities. In the first round of the contest, 6th, 7th, or 8th-grade students participated in an essay competition. Judges then selected 20 finalists to participate in the next round: a live quiz event testing civics knowledge.

The top 20 finalists participating in the live National Civics Bee® event will compete for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place. Winners will receive cash prizes and an opportunity to advance to the Indiana state competition.

WHY CIVICS?
The Greater Muncie 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.
