Scripps National Spelling Bee

The Scripps National Spelling Bee, also known as the National Spelling Bee (formerly known as the Scripps Howard National Spelling Bee), is an American spelling bee held in Washington, D.C. It was firstly formed in 1925 by numerous other spelling bees.
==History==
The spelling bee was formed in 1925. It was organized by The Courier-Journal in Louisville, Kentucky. Frank Neuhauser won the first National Spelling Bee held that year, by successfully spelling "gladiolus". The spelling bee's goal is educational: not only to encourage children to perfect the art of spelling, but also to help enlarge their vocabularies and widen their knowledge of the English language.
Each competition is held in either late May or early June. It has been held every year except for 1943-1945 due to WWII, and 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. 
In 2012, Scripps announced plans for an international version of their spelling bee, in which three-person teams from different countries would compete. Although each speller would be able to confer with teammates once during each contest, all spellers would eventually compete and win prizes as individuals. As of 2015, these plans are on hold.
==Channel==
The channel was created on May 29, 2011, and the first video was uploaded on the same day. The channel uploads promotional ads, behind-the-scenes of their competitions, and clips from the competitions.
