Art of Physics competition. (This is a photographic competition where art meets physics. Each photographic entry must be accompanied by a 200 word description of the physics principle depicted by the photograph. Winning entries and honourable mentions form part of a travelling exhibit.)
CAP High School Physics Prize examination. (The prizes for the top three national participants are being sponsored by the Canadian Chemistry and Physics Olympiad, with the CAP offering prizes to the top provincial participants. Certificates of merit are also offered provincially. In some cases, the provincial prizes are supplemented by the provincial university Physics departments. Many university scholarships and admissions committees have used the results in their decisions.)
