We are really proud of everything students achieve through CREST.
Entering into a Big Bang Regional Fair is a great way to celebrate your own personal achievement of completing your project. It's also a great way to discover some really great talent bubbling away across the UK.
CREST offers 6 prizes at each regional event. These acknowledge the best CREST projects at each level.
Bronze Winner - £200 Bronze Runner Up - £75
Silver Winner - £200 Silver Runner Up - £75
Gold Winner - £200 Gold Runner Up - £75 (please note these prizes vary in Scotland)
This year, each winning project will also receive a personalised certificate for the school and a limited edition CREST Medal.
You have to receive a CREST Award before you attend the event, so we know what level to judge you at. The judging is a fantastic way of meeting local scientists and engineering in the region who are delighted to see your project and give you ideas of where to go next with your work.
Please note, CREST Award winners at regional level no longer have a direct nomination to the finals in March the following year, the nominations are given out by the National Science & Engineering Competition only. All CREST projects will be judged for the Competition at regional level so will have a chance to go through with others. Over 70% of those at 2011's national final had a CREST Award - showing that the CREST method is well respected by the judges.
