About the ShowCBC Television presents CANADA’S SUPER SPELLER – a dynamic new take on the classic spelling bee. The five-episode series sees 12 finalists who beat out hundreds of kids across the country, throw down their dictionaries and face-off in an intense display of spelling prowess. Only 4 will make it to the final episode where they will battle it out for a grand prize and the ultimate title of CANADA’S SUPER SPELLER!
Starting in March 2008, thousands of Canadian kids answered the online challenge. 400 qualified to take part in the local spelldowns that took place in 33 communities across the country.
The competition was fierce with only 48 spellers emerging to compete in the regional competitions. From this elite group 12 extraordinary kids won the opportunity to travel to the Spell Dome at Acadia University to compete for the ultimate prize.
Hosted by CBC’s Evan Solomon (CBC News: Sunday), the entertaining and educational one hour episodes will determine which contestant’s performance ultimately spells S-U-C-C-E-S-S! The winner will receive a $20,000 RESP courtesy of the Egg Farmers of Canada, a prize package from Acadia University and the coveted title of CANADA’S SUPER SPELLER!
CANADA’S SUPER SPELLER is produced by Halifax Film, a DHX Media company in association with CBC Television.
