Your challenge submission consists of two parts: A video showcasing the "science project" and a short questionnaire. Both of these are submitted through this website. The challenge is to be completed by a girl together with a parent, or an older sibling (over 18), uncle, aunt, grandparent or other mentor. There is to be just one girl and one parent/mentor in each entry. Only entrants from Australia will be eligible for prizes. The competition will be set in 3 categories, and judged according to that level: Primary: Ages 5-8; Intermediate: Ages 9-12; Senior: Ages 13-18 |
