Calling all 7th grade students!
About the Bee
The Lawrence County Chamber 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 7th 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 2024.
How to Enter
Any 7th grade student residing in Tennessee with an idea about using civics to improve their community may review the rules and submit an essay application on this page.
The application opens November 13, 2023, and closes on January 22, 2024.

Why Civics?
