The 70th Scripps National Spelling Bee was held in Washington, D.C., on May 28–29, 1997, sponsored by the E.W. Scripps Company.

Thirteen-year-old Rebecca Sealfon, from Brooklyn, New York, won the competition in the 22nd round by correctly spelling the word "euonym".[1] Sealfon's exclamation while spelling her final, winning word has been called one of the most notable moments from National Spelling Bee history, a "made-for-YouTube" moment.[2][3] Sealfon was the first home-schooled student to win the Bee.[4]

Second-place went to 11-year old Prem Murthy Trivedi of Howell, New Jersey, who misspelled "cortile," and third to 13-year old Sudheer Potru of Beverly Hills, Michigan, who was unable to spell "pachymeter" in the 14th round.[5][6] Sealfon had a chance to win in the 17th round, but missed "dulcinea", causing the final two spellers to continue spelling.[7]

The first place prize was $5000 (as it had been since 1990), with $4000 for second place and $2500 for third.[6]

There were 245 spellers this year, age 9 (three spellers) to age 15. 17 were home-schooled, and about one-fourth attended private or parochial school. Six spellers were making a third appearance at a national bee, and 42 were second-time participants.[8] 116 survived into the second and final day of competition.[9][10][11]
