Ten finalists emerged from five rounds and will proceed to the grand finale on December 9, 2017 at the Landmark Event Centre, Oniru, Lagos.

The Grand Finale will feature a special French spelling category for Junior and Senior Secondary Schools contestants, which will test the contestants’ French spelling skills and the use of words in French.
