You are invited to enter Colina's Vocabulary Bee, presented via a fascinating multimedia (PowerPoint) format; it is a contest of knowledge and strategy (such as use of "process of elimination" in narrowing answer choices).

Some 40-50 multiple-choice items will be presented one at a time via Powerpoint-type slides. Each contestant will answer by "bubbling in" on a Scantron form. Some sample questions appear in the scrolling banner at the top of this page.

Every contestant stays in the competition from beginning to end; no one is eliminated along the way. For all or most Bee items, you will be asked to select the best choice from among four or five choices; a given question may be presented within a context, which may or may not be helpful in arriving at the correct answer. The winner is determined based on the number of questions answered correctly.

Please note the deadline above for signing up. Once you’re signed up, no reminder notice will be sent to you, so be sure to mark the Bee date/time in your personal calendar or assignment notebook. Names of all the contestants will be listed on Colina’s website after the Bee.

The winner will receive a $75 Best Buy Gift Card; the runner-up and third place winner will receive, respectively, a $50 Best Buy Gift Card and a $25 Best Buy Card. The top three well will be recognized on Colina's website and over the P.A. system. The first place winner automatically earns an invitation to Awards Night.
