Chemistry is a dynamic and interesting discipline that cuts across all areas of human lives. It is the central science that is deeply ingrained in health care, engineering, business, management, government, marketing, product development, environmental management and even law!

In view of this central and important role, PZ Cussons Foundation is promoting the study of chemistry through open competition to Nigerian secondary schools.

The primary objective of the competition is to stimulate and inspire the learning of Chemistry amongst students and raise their IQ. It is to also demonstrate the relevance and role of chemistry in our society.

The Competition:

The competition shall be in three stages: First Stage, Second Stage and the Main Challenge

The First stage shall be written quiz and all screened candidates shall participate at this stage.

The Second stage shall also be written quiz and only the best 100 from the first stage shall qualify for the stage.

The Final stage which is the Main Challenge shall be the battle of the guns. Only the best four from the Second stage shall qualify for the Finals. Only those who understand Chemistry as a discipline and how it relates to the real world will stand a chance to be crowned the 2013 Champion. Who would that be?
