How it Works! 

Middle School students participate by submitting a 600-750 word essay that identifies a problem that our community faces, then 20 students are selected to compete in our local live "Bee"! ​

The competition will test the knowledge of our top 20 finalists and guest judges will congratulate first, second, and third-place winners with a cash prize and certificate commemorating their participation.  The top 3 finalists will move on to the State Round in Seattle, WA.
