Competitions

Structured challenges where research skills are put to work.

Kerbona Competitions are guided challenges in which learners apply research, evidence, and communication skills. When a competition is published, it lists who it is for, how it runs, and when.

Taking part

Registration and participation.

Online booking and registration are not yet available. For inquiries, email info@kerbona.org. An email is an inquiry only: it is not a registration or a place in a competition.

How a competition runs

Six public milestones, in one fixed order.

A published competition shows its dates against the same sequence. Not every competition uses every milestone; each shows only the public dates that apply to it.

    Registration ends. Later requests are not accepted.

  3. Problem released

  5. Submissions close
