Take a look at all our sponsor prizes and explore some interesting topics!

Our OSA Ambassadors are exceptional past/current competitors who can share their passion for science, inspire other students to be involved in the competition, connect with peers and share their experiences. Learn more about their experience with the OSA competition.

We are giving all our Oliphant Science Award families a discount of 30% on any ticket purchased in one transaction.

The Oliphant Science Awards Open Days will be held at Science Alive! at the Adelaide Showground on both Saturday 8 August and Sunday 9 August 2026.

As well as being able to view the Oliphant Science Awards entries (all Models and Inventions will be on display) and (only) prize winners (for all other categories), there will be two pavilions of exciting science displays, shows and activities happening across the two days.
