<p>I'm confused. It seems as if the siemens and the intel competitions are the same things. However, they have different applications and different deadlines. The projects entered seem to be the same.</p>
<p>two different competitions. However, many people use the same projects for both, as well as for their local science fair.</p>
<p>intel's more of a college application with the greatest emphasis on the research.</p>
<p>siemens' just a research competition.</p>
<p>texas and needhelp are both right. Intel is "older" (it's actually the Science Talent Search) and thus more prestigious. Have you seen the websites for both?</p>
