Why Civics?

The Chamber believes 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. The National Civics Bee is a way to promote greater civics knowledge and civic participation across the country, and to energize our community with a celebration of civic pride.

​Prizes
 
Each finalist will receive a certificate. In addition:
  • The First Place Winner will receive a $1000 cash prize.
  • The Second Place Winner will receive a $500 cash prize.
  • The Third Place Winner will receive a $250 cash prize.
 
Please email Felicia Hetzman, VP of marketing and communications, at felicia@cbicc.org with any questions.

​Middle-school students from throughout Centre County will participate in a first-round essay competition. Judges will then select 20 essays to go to the final round: a live quiz event testing civics knowledge to be held on April 17 in Centre County.

​Winners will be recognized in their communities and receive prizes.
