The deadline for submitting an online registration for the iGEM Regional Jamboree is August 23rd. Go to the registration page here . Find here more information about the terms and policy of the registration. In order to learn about attendance fees please click here .

Safety Proposal
All teams are asked to detail how they approached any issues of biological safety associated with their projects. Be sure to read the safety in iGEM page. Then review and answer the questions required for eligibility in the iGEM 2013 competition by August 30th. The questions are posed on the iGEM 2013 safety page.

Project Abstract
Each iGEM team should submit an abstract of 100-150 words along with your project title (maximum 15 words) by August 30th. This abstract will be printed in the Jamboree program.

Track Selection

The iGEM projects are organized in various categories. Send which final track you would like to select by August 30th. For a more detailed descriptions of the tracks you can look at the judging criteria page.

Team Roster

Each team should finalize their team roster by August 30th. Please make sure that you include all members who participated over the summer, not only those who will be attending the Jamboree. Based on the rooster we will create participation certificates.
More information on the team rooster is found in the iGEM team Registration Handbook.

DNA submission
iGEM teams are expected to submit their parts to the Registry of Standard Biological Parts. Consider that all BioBricks for submissions contain the pSB1C3 as a standard backbone. Physical DNA for parts is due before the Jamboree. In addition to submitting your parts, you must also declare which of your parts are "favorites."
Judges will only be looking at favorite parts so make sure to promote them before the September 18th deadline. See the DNA submission instructions or the video tutorial for more information about the DNA submission process.
For more information please go to here. Note: Send your samples to iGEM HQ and NOT to iGEM Regional committee.

Wiki Freeze

Wikis will be frozen on October 4th at 11:59pm, EDT. The project and parts documentation should then be finished according to the iGEM requirements. This includes the documentation for all medal criteria. What is considered proper documentation is decided by the judging committee and you can find details about proper documentation at the judging page for details.
