SOPHia Science Competition 2020<\/h1>\n

Grand Finale! May 12th 2021<\/h2>\n

We were delighted to host the final leg of the competition online on May 12th 2021. This was our opportunity to celebrate all the great entries to the competition in 2020 (almost 250 entries from over 450 students). We had posted out the Certificates of Participation to everyone and the prizes to the winners (38 winning projects – and it was hard to narrow it down to 38!) in April 2021. The winning projects sent us in videos and photographs of them accepting their prizes and we played these during the live online event on May 12th.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Finalists Announced!<\/strong><\/h1>\n

All our finalists have received an email to let them know that their poster\/project has made it to the final event. We were so impressed by all the posters we received, and this year we in fact had almost 250 entries from over 400 students. \"\"This meant that the competition was fierce! In the end we shortlisted 105 Upper Primary entries, 43 Junior Cycle, and 31 Transition Year entries. These are all available to watch on our YouTube channel. <\/p>\n

These entries are fantastic and our judges will have a tricky job working out the winners. The winners will be announced by March 15th, and we will have an online prize-giving before Easter.<\/p>\n\n\n
