How do I enrol my students?

EP for Home users on an active trial or subscription are welcome to take part.

Promotion materials

Materials for each competition, including promotional posters, will be released prior to each event.

How does the point-scoring system work?

Points are earned toward a competition by completing work in the relevant subject. 

• Every correct answer earns a point!
• Competition points are separate from full-year points (earned from completing tasks and assessments throughout the rest of the year).
• Any work that students have already learnt outside of the competition can be completed from scratch for points during the competition. 

For full details on how the points/scoring system work, check out our full guide. 

What are the rules?

At EP we take competition integrity very seriously. Any students found to be competing unfairly may have their points removed. 

See our full event rules (including those for the ANZ World Series) in our article here. We encourage all students and teachers to read these rules before competing in any EP event. 

• EP will assign specific content that is eligible to earn points towards the EP ANZ Championships. Students can find what content is available by navigating to the Competition from their Student Dashboard.

• Students can revisit content to earn additional points. After their first attempt at any question, they can complete it again after 24 hours. This is within competition rules. See how our points and scoring system works here.

What prizes are available?

EP Student Internship

Each year, EP offers a full expenses paid student internship position to students who excel across our World Series events.

This internship includes flights to EPHQ in Dunedin, New Zealand, to spend a week with the dynamic teams at EP learning about all that happens behind the scenes, whilst gaining invaluable work and life experience. 

The internship also accommodates a parent to accompany the winning student. Find out more information here.

• Applicants must be age 15+ during the duration of the internship (coordinated in 2023).
• Applicants must have received 30,000+ points collectively across the World Series competitions.
• If applicants have been found to breach any EP rules or engage in foul play during the World Series competitions, they will not be eligible to apply. For more information on our competition rules, refer to our guide here.
• Successful applicants will be required to partake in a remote Zoom interview with one of our team.
