Spelling Bees

Question for Spanish-speaking natives, do spelling bees existing in the Spanish speaking world? Competitions where children try to spell difficult words.
I would think not because Spanish phonology makes it easier to spell words.
But I can be wrong.

They all get eliminated after being asked to spell votar/botar, because the judge gets to decide which word it was after the fact.

Heidi once told me that they never have spelling tests in Spanish as the spelling is so regular, so I can't see there being spelling bees

Hi nametaken, you may want to change that word 'definate' to 'for sure', or for certain. Definate, in this context, doesn't apply - nike907, May 6, 2011
