Eurasian Spelling Bee — an international competition site

Eight sections for a competition that runs in 21 countries at once: the round schedule, sample papers, results and a directory of country coordinators.

Eurasian Spelling Bee
What it does

Takes a competitor from the date to the exam

The competition runs in twenty-one countries at once, and a student and their parent arrive with the same three questions: when is it, what will be asked, and who do they talk to in their own country. The site answers them in that order, a section at a time.

  • The ESB 2026 round schedule
  • Sample papers, so the format is known in advance
  • A directory of coordinators across 21 countries
  • A results section for rounds Bee 1 to Bee 6
How it is built

Eight pages around one calendar

Registration does not go through a form — it goes through a coordinator in the competitor's own country. So the site's job is not to collect an application but to get a person to the right contact and to a clear understanding of the rules.

  • Every section is its own address in search
  • A directory with organisations, addresses and email addresses
  • Exam rules on a page of their own
  • The story since 2020, with Gatehouse Awards as a partner

Process

How the work went

  1. 01

    Gathered the season

    Pulled the dates, the rules, the sample papers and the coordinator contacts into one structure.

  2. 02

    Split it by question

    Gave each of a competitor's questions its own page, so each can be found on its own.

  3. 03

    Built the directory

    Twenty-one countries in one list that stays readable on a phone, with no sideways scrolling.

  4. 04

    Launched the season

    Domain, meta tags, and a results section ready to fill as the competition runs.
