INTRODUCING THE BIBLE BEE!
Over $260,000 in Prize Money for 2009 Inaugural Competition

The Shelby Kennedy Foundation is excited to introduce the first annual National Bible Bee, a motivating Bible memory competition for children and youth from ages 7 to 18.  The goal of the Bible Bee is to build godly character in young people by calling them back to the lost discipline of Scripture memorization.  Most people are familiar with the Scripps National Spelling Bee, where youth compete annually in the Nation’s longest-running educational contest. While it is certainly beneficial for our children to commit the spelling of words to memory, imagine how much more life-changing it will be for them to memorize the Word of God!

Local Bible Bee Contests will be conducted throughout the United States on Saturday, September 12, 2009. One hundred finalists from each of three age categories will then advance to the National Bible Bee for a two-day, world-class competition which will be held in Washington D.C. on November 5-6, 2009.
