The competition is open to all students in Nigeria within the criteria, both Spellers registering under their schools or registered by parents.
Schools are advised to avail the same opportunity to all interested students.
After payment, visit the registration portal to fill in the details of the speller. A confirmation slip will be presented after registration. Spellers are expected to submit their confirmation slips during accreditation on the competition day.
i.e., ABC School only pays ₦25,000 for 11 spellers (instead of ₦27,500); or ₦50,000 for 22 students (instead of ₦55,000). Schools will need to fill all speller forms with that one payment teller.
Due to the volume, the dictionary is NOT sold as a Single-Physical book. However, there are online downloadable softwares for both computers and Android phones.
To download the same version of the SOED that the Nigeria Spelling Bee uses to your computer, visit WordWeb.info (costs total of $68 and contains sounds). To download a similar app developed by MobiSystems to your android phone from playstore, click HERE (free trial available, then costs about N11,000).
Strictly for educational and testing purposes, you can download this MODDED VERSION free of charge to your android phone.

At the end of the round, spellers who spelt correctly will progress to the next round, this is done until the needed number of Qualifiers emerge in the state or regional level, or until a Champion emerges in the National Finals.
Spellers are expected to read broadly and use the study guide as a guide on how words are usually formed based on their origins.
A list containing indigenous words (Yoruba, Hausa and Igbo) is provided for use in the Fun (Non-elimination) round of the contest at State and Regional Qualifiers.
