About Us

Learning is at the core of the Gleaner's Children's Own Spelling Bee Competition. For over 60 years, we have worked to create an experience that fosters development in academia, self-confidence and national pride.

The Spelling Bee event is executed at 2 levels, the parish and national level. At the parish finals, children 13 years and younger, engage in a heated spell-off against their friends and fellow parish natives for the title of 'Parish Champion'. These fourteen winners then advance to the national level.

Three months later, the parish champions convene for a rigorous 3 day competition for the coveted title of "National Spelling Bee Champion".
