Civics Bee

April 15, 2023 10:00 AM - 1:00 PM (EDT)

Description


Chester County Chamber of Business and Industry is partnering with the Pennsylvania Chamber of Business and Industry and Chester County Intermediate Unit to host a regional Civics Bee, as part of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation’s National Civics Bee competition.

Middle school students from across our county are invited to take part in the first-round civics essay competition. A cross-section of community leaders (including government officials, business leaders and educators) will review each of the 500-word essay submissions.

The top 20 students will be selected to move on to the final round of competition: a live quiz event to test their civics knowledge.

The finalists and top winners will receive various prizes, including $1,000 cash for the first-place student. The top 3 winners will then have a chance to compete at the State level.

The essay topic is: Identify a problem, challenge, or opportunity in your local community. What can you do to contribute to its improvement based on Founding principles and civic virtues?

Important Dates:

January 13 - Student essay submission opens
February 24 - Deadline for submissions
April 15 - Regional competition

The Regional Competition on April 15th begins at 10:00 a.m. at
Chester County Intermediate Unit
