<p>I see all these national competitions (Siemens-Westinghouse....and some more I can't remember) that all revolve around science. I haaate science. What are some similar national competitions in other subject areas? Do you know what I mean?</p>

<p>I'm desperate. Not that I'd make it to the top, but I'd like to enter something.</p>

<p>You can do humanities research and enter it into the Junior Science and Humanities Symposum. I think that's what it's called.</p>

<p>I don't think the Junior Science and Humanities Symposium has anything to do with humanities...</p>

<p>From JSHS's website:

[quote]
The Junior Science and Humanities Symposia (JSHS) Program invites high school students to conduct an original research investigation in the sciences, engineering, or mathematics, and to participate in a regional symposium sponsored by universities or other academic institutions.
