Enter your students’ project into The Big Bang Competition

The Big Bang Competition provides opportunities for young people to showcase their STEM projects and be recognised and rewarded for their achievements. CREST and The Big Bang Competition provide an excellent forum for students to discuss, challenge and share ideas.   

Finalists in The Competition will be invited to The Big Bang Fair where they will compete for a range of prizes, including cash prizes, business & industry sponsored awards, international opportunities, top and runner-up prizes in the Junior, Intermediate & Senior categories for science and engineering, and the coveted title of GSK UK Young Scientist & UK Young Engineer of the Year.


Entry takes place via two routes:

  • Regional heats: Projects showcase their work at selected Big Bang Near Me Fairs from January to October each year
  • Online heats: You can enter online between July and November. Check the Big Bang Competition site for details.
