SPACE

The glorious return of SPACE's absurd yet quite legit spelling bee! Hosted by Anne Buckwalter and Pilar Nadal of npilar.

Quiescent since 2015, the Pretty Great Spelling Bee has been resuscitated anew! Join us for the glorious return of SPACE's preposterous and quite genuine tournament of byzantine words and wits, where pioneering persons-of-letters lock horns within a quavering sphere of spelling competition. Only one swaggering combatant will emerge propitious, and will hence be appointed the sobriquet of 2024 Spelling Bee Champion!Quiescent since 2015, the Pretty Great Spelling Bee has been resuscitated anew!

We will also have three efficacious and judicious judges (TBA) presiding over the joust!NOW: WE NEED A BAND OF STOUTHEARTED SOULS TO BE OUR SPELLERS.
