Entry Process

BHP Billiton, CSIRO and the Australian Science Teachers Association (ASTA) will be working with the Science Teachers’ Association (STA) in each state and territory to select finalists for the BHP Billiton Science Awards. To be eligible for selection as a finalist you must either:

  • submit a project based on your own experimental data into the experiment, research or investigation category of your local STA Awards or
  • successfully complete a science project in the Blue, Silver or Gold category of the CSIRO CREST Awards (science). 

While some STA competitions have specific subject categories, there are no restrictions on subject category for the BHP Billiton Science Awards, except that projects must include designing and carrying out an experimental investigation.
