Programme information
We work to keep information about the programme, competitions and the Innovation Challenge accurate and up to date. However, dates, rules, venues, categories and awards may change.
- Official notices, circulars and rules issued by Ruhunu Tourist Bureau take priority over anything on this website.
- Teachers should confirm important dates and rules through their school's official channels or by contacting us.
- Registering a club or sending an enquiry does not guarantee selection, a place in an event, or an award.

- send abusive, threatening, offensive or discriminatory content
- send spam, advertising or repeated automated submissions
- try to access the admin area, other people's data or our systems without permission
