This would normally be some time between October and May.  For further details of the first round heats contact your IET Local Network or Younger Members' Section (see right hand menu). You don't need to be an IET member in order to enter the competition and the winner and runner-up of each local heat is entitled to a year's free membership as part of their prize.

Prize:

  • Winner receives £150 & the Runner-up receives £75.
  • Winner can be put forward for the Global Final and the opportunity to win £1,000!
