Please contact the county coordinator in which your school resides for further details Turn homework into something fun and rewarding for you. Orlando Sentinel is sponsoring the 49th Annual Spelling Bee, where you can spell your way all the way to Washington, D.C.!

Just sign up for the spelling bee at your school. If you win first place or runner-up, you'll advance to the county bee. The champion and runner-up of that contest will then compete in the district spelling bee, held at the Sentinel in downtown Orlando. Whoever wins the district championship gets an excuse to skip school and travel all the way to Washington, D.C. to compete in the national spelling bee. They'll also receive $2,000 toward trip expenses! As a sponsor of the Orlando Sentinel's Spelling Bee, Wendy's is proud to donate $1,000 to the Winning Student's School in recognition of their excellent achievement!

So try spelling your way to W-A-S-H-I-N-G-T-O-N, D.-C.

Good luck at making spelling F-U-N!
