We are thrilled to announce the winners of this year’s British Science Week poster competition!
Things were a little different in 2025. We ran our usual competition, this year based the theme, ‘Change and adapt’, and a special category for students aged 8-18 created in partnership with University College London (UCL) all about improving the health of our air.
That made 2025 the first year the poster competition was open to students aged 15-18!
The entries highlighted the brilliant ideas, passions and dazzling imaginations of almost 3, 500 burgeoning young artists from all across the UK.
For the ‘Change and adapt’ competition, we have one winner and two runners up for each of the three categories – Early Years, Infant and Junior – as well as a winner from our popular vote, hosted on our Facebook page.
For the UCL competition, we have one winner and one or two runners up for each of the four categories, 8-11, 11-14, 14-16 and 16-18 as well as a winner from our popular vote, hosted on our Facebook page.
Congratulations to all!
