Canada-Wide Science Fair Award in Acoustics

The Canadian Acoustical Association (CAA) is sponsoring an award for the best acoustics related project (senior level) at the Canada-Wide Science Fair, the annual showcase event of the Youth Science Foundation. In this event, some 450 young scientists are chosen to compete from the top ranks of approximately 25,000 competitors at over one hundred regional science and technology fairs staged across the country (link to Canada-Wide Science Fair).
