Have you...

• Completed an activity, project or piece of research that is heavily based on a science, technology, engineering or maths theme between 1st September 2007 and 1st November 2008?

• Completed an activity or project that has made a real impact on others, and has been noted as being unique or special?

If you can answer yes to all these questions then you are eligible to enter the National Science Competition!

We are looking for all sorts of different projects and activities, so whatever you have done, as long as it is related to science, technology, engineering or maths, we want to hear about it. Research, practical projects, talks, organising new groups, writing about science, posters . . . we want to hear about it ALL. For some examples and a list of subjects we consider to be science, technology, engineering or maths related, see our Example projects page.

IMPORTANT POINT!

If you completed an activity or project as part of a team, you can all enter this competition individually as long as you can answer yes to all the above questions. Each team member will have to write their entry form and summary separately. This is because we are seeking two individual winners. Sorry, there are no team prizes in this competition.
