Once the judging has been completed, there are many prizes available to the lucky Competition winners. These fall into two distinct groups:

  • Core prizes – these are the main Competition prizes and are therefore the most sought after. They are all sponsored by the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS).
  • Special Prizes – these are additional prizes sponsored by lead sponsors of The Big Bang Fair, institutions or organisations with specific areas of interest.


National Awards Ceremony

All the Finalists are invited to a fantastic celebration of the best young scientists and engineers in the UK at the National Awards Ceremony. Watch a clip from last year's celebration event featuring the daring Science Junkies. Could you be there next year?
