We regret to inform everyone that we will not be holding the 2021 Oregon Statewide Spelling Championship.  

We have not yet decided if there will be a  The Bee at the Fair for 2021 as it will depend partially on the State Fair.  The Oregon State Fair will make an announcement by the end of May and that will be based on guidelines from the Oregon Health Authority.

About Us

The mission of Oregon Spellers is to encourage, promote, and recognize spelling excellence for the youth of the State of Oregon and to provide, with our sponsors, an annual state-level spelling championship and just-for-fun verbal bee.

In the OREGON STATEWIDE SPELLING CHAMPIONSHIP, County and Regional Spelling Contest winners compete on the Saturday of Labor Day weekend at the Oregon State Fair in a written contest against students near their age to determine the best young spellers in Oregon. In each Division, cash prizes will be awarded for 1st ($100), 2nd ($50), and 3rd ($25) place winners. No more than two spellers shall be awarded as tied. If necessary, Oregon Spellers will administer another tie-breaker round to break the tie.  Oregon Spellers and the OREGON STATEWIDE SPELLING CHAMPIONSHIP are not part of the Oregon Department of Education, and are not affiliated with Scripps or the Scripps National Spelling Bee.
