Registration is FREE and open to all. Registration does NOT obligate you to participate – the process simply ensures that you receive all competition-related materials as they are made public, including helpful resources and, on October 7th, the Official Competition Packet (with full rules and regulations). The competition is open to all undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral students who are actively matriculating at a college or university during the run of the competition (October 7-28, 2016).
Anyone may register, not only those planning to submit entries (teachers, administrators, journalists, etc. are all welcome to register)! Multiple people from each school, class, or team may register independently. You are not required to organize or inform us about any teams until you submit your entry online in late October, at which time we will ask you to share contact information for all of your final team members.
