Notes:
  • All results are final.
  • Due to COVID 19, the awards ceremony is a recorded zoom online meeting and takes place on YouTube, where Kieran presents the winning projects with the Lord Mayor of Cork, Cllr Joe Kavanagh. It will be a much-scaled back event to previous years. https://youtu.be/-wnBxmpvTrY
  • Once schools return and once current level restrictions are relaxed, prizes, trophies and projects can be collected from the Lifetime Lab. Kieran will make contact again in this regard.
  • Well done to all on their hard work. Despite Covid-19 the standard of project submission was still extraordinary high.
