Are you into music, sport, art… or something else entirely? Whatever your thing – channel your creativity into something special with The Eurekas.

What is The Eurekas?

The Eurekas is an annual physics competition for students aged 11-16 in the United Kingdom and Ireland. It has been thought up by the Institute of Physics to get more people interested in doing physics after they turn 16. Cool, right?

Last year, they had some out-of-this-world, awe-inspiring, game-changing and mind-boggling entries, from a cochlear implant cake to a song about the physics of music!

This year, they have a brand new challenge with bigger prizes and lots of ways to get involved. They’re challenging entrants to answer the question: 

Can physics help us solve mysteries?

Well, what d’you think… can it? An inspiring judging panel will pick the most original and creative entries, with a number of prizes up for grabs for students and their schools.

How to get involved

Your entry could be a video, an audio recording, a poem, a piece of art, whatever showcases your talents the best. Ask a parent, carer or teacher to submit your entry on The Eurekas website. And remember, you’ll need a short note explaining your submission too!

The competition closes on 10 June 2024. What will you come up with?

The prizes

The winning entry will receive a £1,000/€1,200 cash prize. The winner’s school will be rewarded for their support by receiving a £250/€300 voucher to go towards school equipment. Epic!

Not only that, but the two runners-up will receive £500/€600 each. Plus, The Eurekas will also be recognising excellence for each age between 11-16, and the best entries will receive £250/€300 each.

All entries that fit the criteria will be accepted and receive a certificate from the Institute of Physics. Shortlisted entries will be showcased on their social media pages too!

Well, what are you waiting for? Enter at theeurekas.co.uk by 10 June!
