About the Bee

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 Henry Chamber Foundation 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 a greater civic knowledge in Georgia and celebrating our civic pride.
