2025 Young Science Writer Award
Organised by the Association of British Science Writers (ABSW), this prestigious national competition offers students the opportunity to showcase their science writing talent and gain recognition for their work.
The aim of the competition is to encourage talented students aged 14-16 with a passion for STEM and writing, to submit an 800-word essay on the topic of their choice. We work with schools across the UK to help their students submit an essay to our award.
The competition is highly publicised and the 2024 winner was recently featured by the BBC. The BBC, The Royal Institution and Science Museum are our key strategic partners, supporting us and the winner of the competition.
The winner will receive £1,000, a 1-year Young Royal Institution membership, and the chance to meet BBC science journalists among other prizes. Their essay is also published nationally in the media, which attracts highly positive press coverage for the school. The runners-up each get £250 with ten students who are highly commended receiving £100 each.
Key Dates:
Competition Opens 17 January 2025
Competition Closes 7 March 2025
Winners Contacted 7 April 2025
Winners Announced Nationally 10 April 2025
Awards Ceremony 23 June 2025
This is an outstanding opportunity for students to not only develop their skills and receive public recognition for their writing, but it also provides national and international promotion of their school.
