In all how many spellers will get prizes?
In addition to the Grand Championship Prize ($1000), Runner-Up ($500) and Second-Runner-Up ($250) prizes; there will be Cash Prizes for top three Grade Level winners for ALL grades. This brings the total number of prizes to 18. However, you may see additional special prizes announced (and adjudged) by interested sponsors. E.g. “Best Upcoming K-grade Speller” — given to a K-grader who shows exceptional spirit on the stage.
