We invite the public to join us for this free event to support these students as they take part in the live event. These future leaders have worked hard on their essays, and we are so excited to celebrate all of them!
Middle school students in 6th, 7th, and 8th grade from public, private, charter, and home schools were invited to take part in the first-round civics essay competition. After a distinguished panel of judges reviewed the essays, the top students were selected to advance to their local competition: an in-person live event featuring two rounds of civics questions followed by a Q&A round to test their civics knowledge. The local finalists and top winners will receive various prizes, including prizes worth at least $500 for the first-place student.
Participants in the National Civics Bee® will have the chance to gain recognition for their civics knowledge and skills and compete for prestigious prizes throughout the competition. The competition enables students to explore issues that matter to their communities, furthering their understanding of civic engagement and fostering responsible citizenship. Winners from each of the local competitions across New York will be invited to take part in the state finals. The first-place winner of the state finals will receive a trip to Washington, D.C. to compete for prizes worth at least $50,000 during the national championship in the Fall of 2025.
