Primetime Limited, organisers of the National Science and Maths Quiz (NSMQ) have introduced a new prize category, known as the "Clean Sheet" award, to recognise contestants who answer all their questions correctly during a contest.
The National Science and Maths Quiz (NSMQ) has introduced a new award, the “Clean Sheet,” to acknowledge contestants who answer all their questions correctly during the contest. This move comes from Primetime Limited, the organisers of the NSMQ, who aim to promote perfection among participants. The award is set to run four times during the competition, with contestants earning 60 points for achieving a clean sheet, which could earn them prizes for both themselves and their schools.
The introduction of this award adds a new dimension of excitement to the already popular competition, which has become a significant event in Ghana's academic scene. This year’s 2026 edition of the NSMQ features a record-breaking 174 senior high schools, making it the largest contest in its history. The increased number of participating schools is expected to intensify the competition for the prestigious national trophy.
Since its inception, the NSMQ has played a crucial role in promoting excellence in science and mathematics education and inspiring students across Ghana to excel academically.
