The Finalists of the Scripps National Spelling Bee are set: a dozen brilliant spellers who will compete tonight for the Scripps Cup.

The 97th Scripps National Spelling Bee will be held at the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center in National Harbor, Maryland.

The semifinalists include four spellers who have made the finals before, three people whose siblings have one the top prize at the bee and three spellers who achieved perfect scores between the written test and on-stage spelling.
