What happens

The Great Australian Spelling Bee was an Australian reality series on Network Ten. Hosted by Grant Denyer and Chrissie Swan, and produced by Shine Australia, the series premiered from 3 August 2015 until 17 September 2016. The series also stars Chris Edmund as pronouncer. The series is based on the spelling bee competition whereby contestants are required to spell presented words which vary in their degree of difficulty. For the first season, the winner received a $50,000 education scholarship, $10,000 worth of equipment for his school, a Macquarie Dictionary, a Sprout computer, and an HP Pro Slate 8 tablet. In addition, the five runners-up received scholarships worth $10,000, an HP Pro Slate 8 tablet, and $1,000 of education goods for their school. On 19 August 2015, the series was renewed for a second season, which premiered on 17 July 2016. The Great Australian Spelling Bee was filmed at Fox Studios Australia. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
