The New Mexico Junior Academy of Science Scientific Paper Competition, held in conjunction with the regional and state science fairs.
The New Mexico Junior Academy of Science is part of the New Mexico Academy of Science. Each year it sponsors a paper competition for students in grades 6–12.
The competition encourages students not only to do science, but to communicate their work to others. Cash prizes are awarded to winners at the regional and state levels by the New Mexico Academy of Science and the New Mexico Science Teachers Association. Regional winners advance to the state competition, and the Senior Division state winner is invited to present their paper to the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
