The Competition

Introduction

Organized as a competition, Science Buskers Festival will serve as an excellent platform to spread key messages relating to the importance of inspiring an interest in science. During the competition, contestants will do a “show-and-tell” on any science topic, and judging will be based on audiences’ votes and judges’ scores.

Attractive cash prizes are to be won! In addition, the top 3 winners will walk away with a 1-year renewable Science Centre Contract!
