Goil Super Riddle Bonanza
Goil, a valued partner sponsor of the competition, is introducing the Goil Super Riddle Bonanza.
In previous years, schools were only eligible for awards if they correctly answered three or four riddles. However, this year, the rules have changed. Even if a school answers just one riddle correctly, they will be rewarded.
This exciting twist ensures that every school has a chance to shine and be recognized for their efforts.
Goil Double Prize
Sponsored by Goil, the Goil Double Prize is set to spice up the competition. While the exact details are yet to be disclosed, it promises an extra layer of excitement and rewards for the contestants. With Goil’s support, NSMQ continues to encourage and acknowledge excellence in the field of science and mathematics.
Prof. Elsie Effah Kaufmann Award
In honor of the Queen of NSMQ herself, Prof. Elsie Effah Kaufmann, the Quiz Mistress of the program, a special award has been instituted.
This award will be presented to one of the top runners-up that were promoted to the National Championship from the Regional Qualifiers competition by simply advancing the farthest in the Nationals.
It is a fitting tribute to a figure who has played a significant role in nurturing young talent in the fields of science and mathematics.
With these fantastic prizes and awards, the competition is not only a test of knowledge but also a celebration of dedication, teamwork, and the pursuit of excellence in science and mathematics.
Stay tuned for more updates on NSMQ 2023, and join us in cheering on the brilliant young minds who will undoubtedly make this year’s competition unforgettable.
