John Hooper Statistical Poster Competition

Rated Advanced, John Hooper invites students to investigate a real-world question using data and explain the findings in a self-contained digital statistical poster. Post-primary students aged 19 or younger across the island of Ireland enter individually or in teams of up to three through a teacher. The main challenge is choosing sound methods, recognising limitations and communicating an honest visual argument.

Our Take

Registration currently described as opening soon. Poster submission closes 25 February 2027 at 17:00 Ireland time; results announced 8 April at 11:00 Ireland time. Retain the official overlapping birth-year cutoffs; confirm placement with teacher/CSO. No automatic European advancement promised.
