When is the deadline for submitting my project?
July 31st at 11:59:59pm is the latest you can submit your project.
Who can enter?
Any person between the grades of 2-12 can join. Group entries will have 2-4 members. Individuals can enter by themselves too.
Entries will be divided by grade level:
Junior: Grades 2-5
Intermediate: Grades 6-8
Senior: Grades 9-12
Do I have to register to participate?
Yes, when you have completed your project, there is a web form you must fill out to go along with your submission. If there is information missing from the entry, we cannot judge it as part of the event.
What format should the project take?
It is up to you! We are putting no limits on the format. Some ideas include:
What if our group has members from different age categories?
The oldest member of your group will determine your group's age category. (e.g. if one group contains three grade 4s and one grade 7, this group will be entered into the intermediate category).
How are the projects judged?
Please see the "Rules and Regulations" for the judging rubric.
Is there a preferred Citation Style for the Works Cited section?
For the junior and intermediate categories there is no specified citation style as for many participants in this age category, this will be their first encounter with the concept. As long as all sources are cited in their presentation where necessary and their works cited include: Author(s), Publication, Location/Source, Date Published/Date Accessed that will be sufficient. A more complete and detailed citation will lead to a better score in the Quality of Research category.
For the senior category, we do expect a proper citation style to be followed, please use the APA (American Psychological Association) citation style.
