If you are only looking for one particular part of the Application, you may find it in our section on Information for Student Participants.


Electronic Application

Here is the Electronic Application process which is required for all participants.

Please note that you will still submit a signature card and payment through the US Mail, but all of your project information must be completed right here. By filing electronically, your information will be entered into the Fair's database exactly as you type it. Further, your Project Summary will later be published on this Web site so that your judges can read it here in advance of the judging. Not to mention your friends....

With only a few exceptions, the rules for 2009 are very similar to those in 2008. The most significant involve what will happen at the Fair itself and not anything in advance of the Fair, with the exception of the redefinition of a few categories.
