Spelling Bee 2025

 

The Eason Spelling Bee is back for its twelfth year! With over 500 schools taking part in 2024, it is great to be back promoting literacy for children across the counties of Ireland.

 

The Eason Spelling Bee County Finals will kick off at the end of March, continuing into April and May, as we search for the King or Queen Bee.

 

Each registered school will hold their own in-house spelling bee to determine which of their students will be put forward for the Eason Spelling Bee county final. These will run across every county in the Republic of Ireland. Once each county champion has been chosen, the winners will move on to the Provincial Finals, where the top spellers from every county will battle it out to be their province’s champion, and move forward to the All-Ireland Final where we will crown our Eason Spelling Bee winner for 2025.

Along with the coveted title of King/Queen Bee, there are also amazing prizes to be won! The details can be found below.

 

All-Ireland winning school: A book library to the value of €7,500

All-Ireland finalist (non-winning schools): A book library to the value of €3,000

Overall winner: Books/vouchers to the value of €500

Finalists (non-winners): Books/vouchers to the value of €250
