Shaw-IAU Workshops by the OAE

This talk will address the national astronomy competitions in Croatia from a teacher/mentor/committee member point of view. In a more than 50 years tradition of competition in astronomy there have been different models of realization. There were years only with the theoretical round, only with the project round and with their combination (nowadays). It will be shown the benefits and problems we encounter when applying each model as well as the problems of objective evaluation of project based competitions.
