Regional Civics Bee Competition

Calling all middle school students! Share your ideas and flex your civics knowledge in the National Civics Bee®.

ABOUT THE BEE

The Olene S. Walker Institute of Politics & Public Service has partnered with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation to host a nonpartisan 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 National Civics Bee National Championship in Fall 2026.

WHY CIVICS?

The Olene S. Walker Institute of Politics & Public Service 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 Utah and celebrating our civic pride.
