National Civics Bee State Finals
The State Chamber is partnering with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation, American Fidelity, and various local chambers to host its third annual statewide civics competition. The National Civics Bee encourages young 6th, 7th, and 8th-grade students to engage in civics and contribute to their communities.
The competition, modeled on traditional spelling and geography bees, allows students to win recognition and earn cash prizes by sharing ideas for improving their communities and showing their enthusiasm for civics. The National Civics Bee Oklahoma State Finals winner will be invited to Washington D.C. to compete in the inaugural National Civics Bee national championship in the Fall 2026.
