The 30th Anniversary edition of the National Science & Maths Quiz kicked off, on October 6, 2023. As an exciting highlight of the 30th Anniversary celebrations, this year's NSMQ is being hosted in two distinct regions: KNUST in Kumasi and the National Theatre in Accra. This historic occurrence represents the first time the National Championship spans across two regions. KNUST serves as the venue for the Preliminary four stages of the competition, with the Grand Finale scheduled to captivate audiences at the National Theatre.
seeded schools arrive for the One-eighth stage of the competition.
The One-eighth Stage is all set to commence tomorrow, October 11, 2023, at the same venues within KNUST. This stage brings an exciting twist as 30 seeded schools join the competition. Every school aspires to secure a seed, even if they don't ultimately win the trophy. To earn a seed, schools must battle their way to the Quarter-final Stage, ensuring an automatic seed. This means that a school granted an automatic seed will skip the Regional Qualifiers and Prelims, starting their journey directly from the One-eighth Stage.
Originally, the number of seeded schools would have been 27, representing the schools that advanced to the Quarter-finals Stage. However, to elevate the intensity and competitiveness of the Regional Championships, Regional Champions who were not already seeded have been granted an automatic seed as a recognition of their dedication and hard work during the Regional Championships.
