Results 2025

Congratulations to all students who took part in the 2025 STANSW Young Scientist Awards!


Your creativity, curiosity, and dedication to exploring real-world questions have made judging a joy.


Certificates and personalised feedback letters are now available to Hub Contacts only. Please login to view the results, then return to this page via the navigation bar.  

Results will become visible to the user who uploaded the projects on Wednesday, 12 November, giving schools the opportunity to hold their own award presentations before results are released to families.


Note: Prize details are not displayed in the results table. Prize-winners have been notified separately.

 

While judges’ decisions are final, we know administrative errors can happen. If you notice any missing certificates, misspelt names, or other issues, please get in touch so we can correct them promptly.

Judging criteria

Each project in the Young Scientist Awards is assessed using our specially designed judging rubrics. Judges look at the project as a whole and assign a level from 1 to 5 that best reflects the student’s achievement.

 

Every participant receives recognition for their effort and creativity:

  • High Distinction Certificate – awarded to students achieving a level 5

  • Distinction Certificate – awarded to students achieving a level 4

  • Commendation Certificate – awarded to students achieving a level 3

  • Participation Certificate – awarded to all students who take part

These certificates celebrate the curiosity, persistence, and innovation shown by every young scientist who entered this year’s awards.
