The first national competition among the first place winners from each regional SABC program was held at the BIO 2002 conference in Toronto in June 2002. More than $18,000 in cash prizes was awarded to the competing teams. For the past five years, the national competition was held via video-conferencing facilities from the National Research Council of Canada. Each first place regional team presented their research to a panel of judges gathered at the NRC headquarters in Ottawa.
In 2009, with support from BioTalent Canada the competition will be face-to-face where 14 regional winners will compete for the National title in Ottawa. The top 2 winners of the National SABC Competition will be able to compete in the sanofi-aventis International BioGENEius Challenge at the Biotechnology Industry Organizations (BIO) Annual International Convention.
