New Zealand Baking Industry Research Trust Prize

The annual New Zealand Science and Technology Fairs are regional competitions open to intermediate and secondary school pupils. The Fairs celebrate and reward excellence in science and technology.

The Baking Industry Research Trust sponsors the Science and Technology Fairs in all regions by awarding the NZ Baking Industry Research Trust Prize to the best project or exhibit that uses bread or flour products. Certificates are awarded for both first and second prize. Judges are invited from industry, research organisations and the education sector.

The prize is appropriate to projects or exhibits which include bakery ingredients, production technology, cereal product uses and benefits, nutrition, scientific aspects or surveys. To enhance project quality, an understanding of basic scientific principles must be demonstrated. The project should have an hypothesis, method, results, conclusion and bibliography.

The NZ Baking Industry Research Trust Prize is a popular one, and the standard of exhibits is usually high, with diverse and innovative project topics.
