National psychology competition

National psychology competition

The Psychology Poster Day Competition 2025, which will take place on June 18th, 2025 (Wednesday) this year, is now open!

The competition

We run a national Psychology competition for schools, enabling Year 12 students to pit their psychology skills against pupils from across the UK.

To enter the competition, students answer the competition question with a two-minute video (submitted before the event) and a corresponding poster (to be presented at the on-campus event).

Students may want to look at findings from psychological studies, think about the implications of a psychological theory, or approach it completely differently. It’s an opportunity for you to showcase your understanding of Psychology.

 

The competition question

How can psychology help us shape healthier online behaviours?

 

Rules and regulations

Teachers: You can register your teams comprising of 2 to 5 students in each team from your school or college.
