2024 National Civics Bee

The Fox Cities 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 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 2024.

Any 6th, 7th, or 8th grade student residing in Wisconsin 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.

Emcee: Garrett Singer (Lawrence University)
Judges: Jake Woodford (Mayor - Appleton), Katie Van Zeeland (Alderperson - District 5 Appleton), Robyn Gruner (Director of External Affairs - AT&T)
