Since 1997 NZSA has sponsored special prizes for statistics at regional science fairs around the country. We currently provide $200 for prizes at each of the individual fairs. We split the prize money into senior and junior prizes where possible and we also present some certificates of merit for other worthy exhibits, at the judges’ discretion. The current Science Fairs Convenor is Roy Costilla.
Below are some quotes from the 2025 fairs.
“The fair was a great success, showcasing an impressive range of projects from talented students across the region. Your contribution helped make this possible and continues to play a vital role in encouraging excellence in Science and Technology education. We deeply appreciate your continued support and hope that you will join us again next year as a valued sponsor.” – NIWA Science and Technology Fair for Central and West Auckland
“Once again the Regional SciTec Celebration was a great success. Over 900 students from 17 schools participated in the Fair at school level. From these, 391 students with over 260 exhibits were successful in making it through to the Regional Fair. We are truly appreciative of your support in helping us continue to achieve this goal. Without your ongoing support we would be unable to run the fair.” – Marlborough Lines Science and Technology Celebration Committee
“I wanted to thank you for sponsoring the event. Winning the Silver prize for excellent use of statistics meant a lot to me and your support made it possible. Thank you for investing in the Science Fair.” – Unknown Science Fair
“Thank you for your support of the Science and Technology Fair by sponsoring a Special Prize… Thank-you very much for your contribution to the Fair, which helped to make it such a success.” – NIWA Wellington Science and Technology Fair
