EASON SPELLING BEE


The Eason Spelling Bee is back for its tenth year! With over 500 schools taking part in 2023, it is great to be back promoting literacy for children across the counties of Ireland.

Each registered school has held their own in-house spelling bee to determine which of their students will be put forward for the Eason Spelling Bee county finals. These will run across every county in the Republic of Ireland. Once each county champion is chosen, the winners will move on to the provincial finals where the top speller from each county will battle it out to be their provinces’ champion and move forward to the all-Ireland final where we will crown our Eason Spelling Bee winner for 2023. Along with the coveted title of King/Queen Bee, there are also some amazing prizes to be one! The details can be found below:
