Track Selection Freeze
Your team track selection must be finalized by September 13, 11:59PM EDT.
Why is this deadline important?
Track selection is important as it directly impacts the Giant Jamboree presentation schedule. We will group teams together by track in random groups of three to fit within the presentation schedule. Track selection also impacts the awards that will be given out on Monday during the Giant Jamboree (for example, if there are no teams in a specific track, then there will be no award given for that track). You can make your track selection on your Team Profile Page.
Note: High school teams will automatically be assigned to the High School track.
Team Project Title and Abstract Due
Your team project title and abstract must be submitted by September 13, 11:59PM EDT.
Why is this deadline important?
Your team project title and abstract is important for your team's Judging Form. You need to add your title and abstract to your Team Profile Page, which will be automatically copied over to your Judging Form. It's the first item about your project that your Judges will see upon viewing your Judging Form, so make sure to submit it on time! Your project title and abstract will also be included in the Guidebook App for the Giant Jamboree and will be posted online for everyone to view prior to the Giant Jamboree.
Final Team Rosters Due
Your team roster must be finalized by September 13, 11:59PM EDT.
Why is this deadline important?
For collegiate teams, Team Rosters are used to determine if your team will be categorized as an Undergraduate or Overgraduate team (high school teams are automatically placed into the high school section). This will impact the track awards and special prizes you can compete for during the competition, so make sure your Team Roster is correct and up to date by September 13, 11:59PM EDT. The Team Roster is used to print your participation certificates for the 2019 competition season and is our official record for iGEM 2019 participants. High school teams should submit the applicable consent forms with enough time for processing. Learn more about iGEM Team sections.
Final Safety Forms Due
Your team's Safety Form must be completed and submitted by September 13, 11:59PM EDT.
Your Safety Form must be completed and submitted by one of the team's PIs by September 13, 11:59PM EDT. If you will not be able to complete this form before the deadline, please email us at safety [AT] igem [DOT] org and tell us about your situation.
Team Banner Submission (optional)
Each team is welcome to submit one banner image for iGEM to print and proudly display at the Giant Jamboree. After the event, you are welcome to take this memento of your participation at the Jamboree home as a way to commemorate your team's achievements! For specifications and the upload link, see the Team Banners page.
Giant Jamboree Late Registration closes
Late registration for the Giant Jamboree will end on September 30 at 11:59PM EDT. After this deadline, attendees will only be able to register on-site.
OCTOBER
Team Videos (optional)
Each team is welcome to submit a team video by emailing us the file to hq [AT] igem [DOT] org. We will select some of the videos to show during the Giant Jamboree Closing Ceremony!
Final Judging Form Due
Your team judging form must be finalized by October 16, 11:59PM EDT.
Why is this deadline important?
The Judging Form informs your team's judges about the medal criteria you have fulfilled as well as any special prize(s) you have nominated your team to compete for at the Giant Jamboree. This deadline allows iGEM Headquarters to assign the judges to your team, so this is a very critical deadline for every team. Please make sure you fill out and save your form by October 16, 11:59PM EDT.
Registry Pages Freeze
The Registry Freeze for the 2019 Giant Jamboree is on October 21, 11:59PM EDT.
Why is this deadline important?
All of your Registry pages must be completed by this deadline, as we will freeze the entire Registry until after the Giant Jamboree. Teams must finalize their Registry Part pages so the judges can begin their assessment of your work. For all parts, all of your part documentation and characterization data must be on the Main Page of the Registry Part page(s).
Software Team GitHub Freeze
The GitHub Freeze for the 2019 Giant Jamboree is on October 21, 11:59PM EDT.
Why is this deadline important?
Every Software Track team must submit their code documentation to the iGEM GitHub Repository for evaluation by the judges.
Wiki Freeze
The Wiki Freeze for the 2019 Giant Jamboree is on October 21, 11:59PM EDT.
Why is this deadline important?
The Wiki Freeze is important for the judging process of the competition. Judges will be assigned their teams and begin judging assessments the next day. Your Wiki is the public face of your project, so make sure you begin work on it early to avoid last minute problems and mistakes. Once the wikis are frozen, users can no longer make any changes until they are unfrozen after the Jamboree. Please be sure to read through the the wiki requirements! No extensions will be provided (no exceptions!) and judges will begin their assessment the next day, so make sure all changes are done by October 21, 11:59PM EDT.
IMPORTANT:All teams must follow the Wiki Rules. Failure to follow these rules may prevent your team from winning medals or prizes.
PLEASE NOTE: During week of wiki freeze, iGEM experiences higher than normal traffic which can lead to strain on our servers and sessions timing out for users. iGEM HQ recommends that users do not wait till the last days to work on and/or finish their wikis. Edits done during the final week should be very minor edits (spelling mistakes, updating images, etc.).
