The U.S. Embassy Tashkent Public Affairs Section (PAS) of the U.S. Department of State announces an open competition for organizations or institutions to organize and conduct the National Spelling Bee and the fifth annual Central Asian Regional Spelling Bee in Tashkent in collaboration with American Spaces across Central Asia. Local, national, and regional bees are excellent opportunities to support education and to promote American English and American culture, to showcase the partnership between the United States and Central Asia, and to strengthen the American Spaces network in the region. This funding opportunity seeks to identify and secure an implementer to manage the national and regional stages of the annual Spelling Bee competition.  The American Spaces network throughout Central Asia will organize and host local and national level Spelling Bee Competitions in 2022 and select four candidates each (three top winners and one alternate) with the national and regional final competition to be held in Tashkent. About 40 Uzbekistani participants from 12 regions, as well as Karakalpakstan, and Tashkent will come to Tashkent to participate in National Spelling Bee finale at the American Center Tashkent tentatively in October 2022.  The top three winners from each of the national contests in Kazakhstan, Kyrgyz Republic, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, and Turkmenistan will participate in the 2022 Regional Central Asian Spelling Bee, to be held in Tashkent tentatively in November 2022.  Participants from Turkmenistan may join virtually.
