All the words used for the spelling competition will be taken and can be found in the various sources such as the Real Academia dictionary, Diccionario abreviado del español actual, the Pequeño Larousse Ilustrado dictionary or a Spanish dictionary of the same quality.
The oral spelling should be correct and complete. Special marks must be included (i.e., accents or tilde, diérisis {ü}, capital letters, etc... Such marks may be spelled out during or after the word has been spelled out.
