If you have a CREST Award and wish to compete for amazing prizes and unique experiences, then taking part in the National Science & Engineering Competition is for you!

The Competition finals are held at The Big Bang each March. The Big Bang consists of the Competition, a Clubs showcase and a large number of exhibitors all on the same show floor, with workshops, talks, shows and over 30,000 visitors attending across 3 days! It truly is a BIG Bang.

CREST projects have historically done well in the National Science & Engineering Competition, representation wise with around 70% of finalist projects having a CREST Award, and in 2011 both UK Young Scientist and UK Young Engineer top awards being given to CREST Award holders.

You don't have to be a competitor to experience the National Science & Engineering Competition at The Big Bang! You can always attend The Big Bang as a visitor and take part in the interactive stands, shows and displays on offer. To find out more visit The Big Bang website.
