Applications may be submitted any time after the 2023 application is open on the web site until midnight on the FINAL day. Applications will be reviewed by the SRC/IRB in the order they are received.
Application deadlines are RECEIPT dates not POSTMARK dates. Contact the fair administrators via the contact page if a check has been mailed, but the Project Status is not yet “Application Received.”
The Institutional Review Board (IRB) must review projects involving human subjects. For that reason, projects using human subjects that are received after Nov. 21, 2023, will NOT be accepted.
*February 23, 2024 is the last day for projects to be accepted, and titles, categories, or fields of study can’t be changed after acceptance. If you need to withdraw, please let us know as soon as possible. February 23, 2024 is the last day for an official withdrawal; after that date, your project will officially count as a no-show.
**Request access when the message pops up in Google Drive. Upload your abstract by March 5, 2024. On March 9, 2024, Judging Folders will be available to Sponsored Awards & Grand Prize judges because some of them must screen many projects before selecting the ones to interview.
