Case Study: U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation Powers the National Civics Bee® with Reviewr

U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation - Customer Case Study

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation launched the National Civics Bee® to inspire middle school students nationwide to engage in civics, but as a first-year initiative it had to build the competition’s infrastructure from scratch. With 20,000+ anticipated student participants, hundreds of chambers of commerce, multiple review phases, and thousands of volunteer judges, the Foundation needed a secure, scalable way to manage submissions, privacy, and fairness. It turned to Reviewr’s competition management software to support the program.

Reviewr powered the National Civics Bee® with a secure submission portal, multi-level workflow automation, intelligent judge assignment, standardized scoring tools, and analytics dashboards. The platform ensured each essay was reviewed exactly three times, eliminated duplicate scoring and reassignment issues, and provided geographic participation insights to guide growth. As a result, Reviewr helped the Foundation securely manage 20,000+ submissions, run a fair and efficient national competition, and build a scalable framework for long-term expansion.
