Vancouver Island Regional Science Fair 2025 

The 2025 Vancouver Island Regional Science Fair will be an in-person event in the Elliott Lecture Wing at the University of Victoria. As a result we need Judges.

We anticipate that there will be approximately 100 projects and 150 student participants for the 2025 Vancouver Island Regional Science Fair. To evaluate projects and help to run the Science Fair a large number of judges are needed.

If you have an interest in science and wish to help foster an appreciation of science in students from Grades 4 through 12 register below to help.

The Judge schedule for the Science Fair can be found here. Judges are needed on Sunday, April 6 for Round 1 (all projects) and Round 2 (finalists). As a Round 1 judge you would be expected to evaluate about 4 projects as part a team. In Round 2 you would be asked to evaluate the top projects in an age category. It is an enjoyable and rewarding experience.

There are two types of judging that take place on Sunday: (1) General Judging for all classifications and ages to rank the projects for assignment of the major prizes, and (2) Specialty Award judging.

If you are a member of a sponsor organization that has offered a Specialty Award (for example, the Victoria Natural History Awards or the Rotary Environment Awards) and have volunteered to judge for their Specialty Award, please contact lggree@shaw.ca and chiefjudge.virsf@gmail.com .
