Abstract. “Chemistry Festival” is a student competition designed for students from 5th to 12th grade. The goal of the competition is to promote chemistry among young people and provide a platform for students interested in the natural sciences to showcase their talents. The organization of the competition involves prior registration of participant/participants and a supervisor/teacher; selection of a topic predefined by the organizers; and a choice of participation category: essay, poster, or presentation. The research project category is available for students in grades 8. – 12., where they present their projects on a topic related to Chemistry and Environmental Protection, using the scientific method. Participants’ work is evaluated based on predefined criteria, and those with the highest scores qualify for a defense in front of a jury. After hearing and assessing the participants’ presentations, the jury awards first, second, and third places in each category, along with special and incentive prizes.
