WACS State Competition Manual

The new edition of the WACS State Competition Manual and judges forms are now available by following the link below. 

A new AACS Competition Manual (2020 edition) will govern National Competition 2021–2025. There were many updates made. Be sure to purchase the national manual for your school and carefully review it. State competitions often operate under different rules. Competitors must follow current Nationals rules and use the current AACS judging forms at Nationals.  The new AACS Competition Manual (2020 edition) includes the new Science Fair Manual. The Science Fair Manual was significantly changed with this edition. Previous editions no longer apply. For further information on all the changes for the AACS National Competition, click here.

Spelling Competition Resources

An explanation regarding Spelling Resources from AACS:

Spelling study lists can be accessed here. All the words listed are from the Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary. The emphasis of the lists is to teach students to learn how to spell and to minimize the memorization of words.

AACS High School Competition
  • Study lists may be accessed at here. Words are organized into sections by language of origin. Words are further organized into “Study Words” and “Challenge Words.” Spelling bee words will not necessarily come from these lists but will come from the same categories.
  • Instruct high school students to study all sections.
Junior High and Elementary Competitions. Contact your state association for Junior High and Elementary guidelines!
  • Junior high competitions are governed by the various state organizations.
