The Scripps National Spelling Bee is a competition held annually in the Washington, D.C. area in the United States over a two-day period at the end of May or beginning of June. Since 2011 it has been held at the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center.
The spelling bee competition began in 1925, and was organized by The Courier-Journal in Louisville, Kentucky, until the Scripps Howard Broadcasting Company assumed sponsorship in 1941. The media conglomerate, now known as the E. W. Scripps Company, has continued to sponsor the competition to this date. The competition was canceled from 1943 to 1945 due to World War II. Every speller in the competition has previously participated in a local spelling bee, usually organized by a local newspaper.[1] Although the competition is titled "National", spellers from Europe, Canada, New Zealand, Guam, Jamaica, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and American Samoa have entered the competition. Only two people from outside the fifty U.S. states have won the competition – the first from Puerto Rico in 1975 and the second from Jamaica in 1998.
The competition has been televised live in the U.S. since 1994 on ESPN, a Disney-owned cable-television network dedicated to broadcasting and producing sports-related programming.[2] Beginning in 2006, the ABC network, also owned by Disney, broadcast the final rounds during a live two-hour timeslot.[2][3] In 2011, the final rounds returned to ESPN because of a scheduling conflict with that year's NBA Finals. The competition is primarily an oral competition conducted in elimination rounds until only one speller remains. The first round consists of a 25-word written test, the remaining rounds are oral spelling tests. The competition has been declared a tie six times, in 1950, 1957, 1962, 2014, 2015, and 2016. As of 2016, 47 champions have been girls and 46 have been boys. Eighteen out of the last twenty two winners (from 1999 to 2017), including all champions for the most recent ten years (from 2008-2017, including the 2014, the 2015, and the 2016 pairs of co-champions, for a total of twelve champions during this interval), have been Indian Americans, reflecting the recent dominance of students of this community in this competition; Indian-Americans make up less than one percent of the U.S. population.[4] In 2016, Nihar Janga from Austin, Texas, became the youngest champion in the bee's history when he won the title at the age of 11.
The 2016 Scripps National Spelling Bee featured co-champions for the sixth time in the competition's history, the previous occurrences having been in 1950, 1957, 1962, 2014, and 2015.

Notes[edit]
A The Scripps National Spelling Bee website lists Dean Lucas's winning word as "luxuriance" and Virginia Hogan's 1929 winning word as "asceticism." However, two 1929 articles, one from Time magazine and the other from The New York Times, credit Hogan as winning the 1929 Bee with "luxuriance" (which may have been the penultimate word), and a 1927 source from the Milwaukee Sentinel cites "abrogate" as the winner that year. The SNSB has a longstanding policy of "retiring" national-level winning words from use in future competition lists, yet throughout the 1980s, "abrogate" appeared in the Intermediate Words section of the SNSB's annually updated study booklet, at that time titled Words of the Champions.[14][15]
B Joint champions were announced after the contestants had exhausted the list of words.[31]
C Joint champions were announced after Sandra Owen was knocked out of the competition by spelling "xylophagus" as "xylophagous", with the judges later realizing that it was an acceptable spelling variant (though she still spelled the competition-ending word, "schappe," incorrectly as "schaup").[35]
D Joint champions were announced when both remaining contestants misspelled "esquamulose."[5]
E Trinkle, Bailly, Pipkin (married surname Kimble), Giddens, and Thampy are current or former Scripps National Spelling Bee officials.[45]
F Trinkle and Pipkin (married surname Kimble) are co-authors (with Carolyn Andrews) of How to Spell Like a Champ: Roots, Lists, Rules, Games, Tricks, & Bee-Winning Tips from the Pros (ISBN 978-0761143697, ISBN 0761143696).
G Pipkin (married surname Kimble), Giddens, Petit, Isaacs, Hooper, Andrews, Guey (married surname Lai), Lala, and Thampy are current or former members of the Scripps National Spelling Bee's support staff.[45]
H Andrews is the author of A Champion's Guide to Success in Spelling Bees: Fundamentals of Spelling Bee Competition and Preparation (ISBN 978-1463689087, ISBN 1-4636-8908-X).
I Joint champions were announced after the contestants had exhausted the list of words.
