PROVO, Utah — FOX 13 is proud to have brought you the 2026 Utah County Spelling Bee, live from the Covey Center for the Arts in Provo, and sponsored by University Place and The Covey.
Sixty students from schools across Utah County competed for the title and an invitation to participate in the 2026 Scripps National Spelling Bee in Washington, D.C., from May 26-28.
The Utah County Spelling Bee was conducted in rounds, just like the national competition, with each speller receiving one word per round. The competitors continued until they misspelled a word. If all the spellers missed a word in a round, they remained in the competition. If one remained in a round, they were required to spell a final championship word to win.
