The National Bible Bee is a Bible quiz held for the first time in 2009 by the Shelby Kennedy Foundation. The competition starts with local contests across the United States. The top 120 contestants from each age group (Primary, ages 7–10; Junior, ages 11–14; and Senior, ages 15–18) advance to the National level. In 2009, the national level was held in Washington, D.C. on November 5–6, 2009. More than $260,000 in prize money is awarded, with the winner in the Senior age category winning $100,000. The organization claims that this is the "largest prize of any academic competition of its kind".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=National Awards ) 〕 == Origins and philosophy == The National Bible Bee is sponsored by the Shelby Kennedy Foundation. Shelby Kennedy, who died of cancer at the age of 23, spent all of her life studying the Bible. After her death, a non-profit ministry, The Shelby Kennedy Foundation, was established in her name to commemorate her by encouraging children and youth to memorize Scripture. While the National Bible Bee promises large cash prizes for at least nine of the top-place finalists,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Nationals 2010 )〕 Both local and national competition will involve oral and written tests.〔 The Bee has the larger goal of encouraging young people in the Christian faith, such as by becoming more biblically literate. Their website states, "The vision for the Bible Bee is to encourage parents as they disciple their children through in-depth study of the Word of God, Scripture memorization, and prayer."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=About us )〕 The organization also has a statement of faith stating a set of fundamental doctrines for Christianity;〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Statement of Faith )〕 though this statement is not made a requirement for competition, the contestants and their families must agree not to dispute any of the doctrines in any stage of competition.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Contest Rules ) 〕
