Last time I emailed them about the intent to participate form, they took over 3 weeks to get back to me. Even if we email them, I’m not sure how fast they will respond.
What should kids do if they want to submit their report? Only 5 more days until the deadline…
has anyone heard from them? if they never apply, i assume the best bet is to just submit it through email like @SlayMeLove said
Wait is abstract a separate submission? Even if I’m just typing a short summary for it? Some of the previous winners seem to have their abstracts included in the report but the website gives me the impression that it should be separate.
How can you change your mentor?
Y’all I just read your whole thread and it seems like we all went through the same thing and I’m stressssssed. It’s due Tuesday and I still don’t know what to do for methodology? Can someone help please. Thank you so much I hope the best for you all (btw I’m doing Art and Architecture).
Also where do we submit?
I sent them the question of how to submit reports through their “Contact Us” form about a week ago and still no reply… not sure what to do
Also I just realized that none of the forms are open for us to submit our report like the Attention and Approval form which we need to sign so I’m just lost…
I honestly don’t know what I’m gonna do if they release the forms late because my mentor would need to sign it and I she’s very busy so if she isn’t able to sign it, I won’t be able to participate :(. And I thought we would use the one in the Handbook but it’s specifically for 2016-2017.
@Peanutbowow, if you look on the website at past winners they have winning papers from 2015 and 2016. I don’t know how you would structure it exactly since I am doing Science, Technology and Society and scientific papers are usually a little different. However, under How to Apply, there are specific requirements as well as additional suggestions for how to structure your paper.
Because they extended the due date for the Intent to Participate when it was released late, I would think the deadline would be extended again because they have been so vague about submission instructions and haven’t released the necessary forms. But maybe wait as long as possible before submitting to see what they’ll do.
They have just extended submission deadline to Jan. 19th.
is this the deadline for the abstract and report submission too? on the website, it said “some forms” will be due by jan 19
Yes. @powerranger1018
Do we know whether abstract is a separate document for submission or no?
I think its separate because most of the winning documents didn’t have their abstract within their report so it should be separate, however, some winning reports did have it so it wouldn’t hurt if you submitted your report with an abstract but it’s not necessary.
Bless everything that they moved the deadline to January the 19th, I was over here pulling my hair out over the past deadline :))
Does anyone know about any other fairs/competitions that would accept similar projects/papers ? For example, I am doing art & architecture, with a bit of computer science involved. I’m not sure it would qualify for a full on ‘science’ fair, because it is fundamentally looking at fine art.
@MeanestBean You could try looking into high school journals, or journals related to digital humanities. I’m not sure about other competitions though, I’d also like to hear from others if there are similar ones.
Does anyone know where to get the Approval and Attestation Form?
Seems to be grayed out on the website.
Also I don’t know where to submit the paper I also saw an Abstract and Report Submission Form
