The deadline applies to both (a) submission of all applications and forms and (b) payment of the application processing fee. Initial administrative review of your forms and SRC review and approval will continue after this deadline.
To confirm that your application is successfully submitted, look for your Project Code under the “Payment Submitted” section. If you do not see your Project Code then please ensure you have completed Step 5 (Pay & Submit). We strongly encourage you not to wait until the last minute to submit your payment! To check whether your project has been accepted, click Check Project Status and follow the link for your teacher/sponsor.
If you see Incomplete but haven’t received an email, first check your Spam Folders and then contact Fair Administration via the Contact page and include your 3-character Project Code.
We kindly ask all students and teachers to allow the staff and SRC ample time to review the recent submissions.
Important Notice: If you are a returning student or require SRC pre-approval, the November 14 deadline has passed and you are not eligible to participate in the 2026 Synopsys Championship. Please do not submit payment at this time, and we encourage you to keep next year’s deadlines in mind.
