The 6th National Spelling Bee was held at the National Museum in Washington, D.C. on May 27, 1930.[3] Scripps-Howard would not sponsor the Bee until 1941.

The winner was 14-year-old Helen Jensen of Council Bluffs, Iowa, correctly spelling the word albumen.[4] Ruth Des Jardins of Michigan came in second, who stumbled on "asceticism", followed by Mildred Froning of Indiana, who went out on "conflagration".[5][6]

The final hour of the contest was broadcast on radio, starting at 3pm Eastern standard time, by the National Broadcasting Company.[7]

There were 24 contestants this year.[8]

First place received $1000, followed by $500 for second place, and $250 for third.[5]
