RESEARCH COMPETITION
As the core of Research Fair, the Research Competition (RC) continues to be a terminal for which the youth can showcase their research projects and be exposed to other research perspectives and insights from various fields, along with scientific breakthroughs that ultimately align with the event’s objective of shaping the youth to be the nation builders of tomorrow.

RC 2026
The Final Defense of the Research Fair 2026 Research Competition took place on the 17th of January, 2026, and witnessed outstanding achievements from young scientists. AS-070 from Quezon National High School claimed the top spot in Applied Science Category, LS-026 from Philippine Science High School – Main Campus shone the brightest in Life Science Category, and PS-049 from Quezon City Science High School excelled in the Physical Science Category.
As we approach Research Fair 2027, new and innovative scientific ideas from the Filipino youth are envisaged to ignite on the stage once again. Following a competitive structure, three rigorous rounds—Journal Entry, Exhibit Presentation, and Final Defense—will allow participants to refine and transform their ideas into an outstanding piece of scientific literature. This year’s iteration poses a challenge for its participants as a new category is introduced: the Computational Science and Intelligent Systems. Only the brightest five entries per category will advance to the Final Defense. Who will wield to be the shiniest in this year’s competition?
