ABOUT THE BEE
The Campbellsville-Taylor County Chamber of Commerce is partnering with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation to host the fourth annual national 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. Finalists will be invited to Washington, DC to compete in the inaugural National Civics Bee national championship in Fall 2025.

20 Regional Finalists will compete for the right to advance to the State Finals in August at the Kentucky State Fair.

WHY CIVICS?
The Campbellsville-Taylor County 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 Kentucky and celebrating our civic pride.

HOW TO ENTER
