76th Scripps National Spelling Bee
The 76th Scripps National Spelling Bee was held on May 28-29, 2003, in Washington D.C..
==Winners==
The competition was won by 13-year-old eighth grader Sai R. Gunturi of Dallas, sponsored by the ''Dallas Morning News'', who correctly spelled ''rhathymia'' followed by ''pococurante'' for the win. He had happened to have studied the final word previously, so knew he was going to win. He won $12,000 as well as additional prizes. It was Gunturi's fourth trip to the bee, improving his performance every year. He was tied for 32nd in 2000, and placed 16th in 2001 and 7th in 2002; his sister Nivedita tied for 8th place in 1997.
Second place went to 14-year-old homeschooled student Evelyn Blacklock of Tuxedo Park, New York, who misspelled ''gnathonic''. She had also competed the prior year, finishing 59th.〔(30 May 2003).

Third place was a three-way tie among three contestants who fell in round 11. JJ Goldstein, age 13 of Great Neck, New York, fell when misspelling ''betony''. Samir Patel, age 9, of Colleyville, Texas, misspelled ''boudin''. Patel tied for second-place two years later in the 2005 bee. And Trudy McLeary, age 14 of Kingston, Jamaica fell on ''aplustre''. This was the best performance by an entrant from Jamaica since winning the 1998 bee.〔(30 May 2003).
