Below you’ll see the local competition times in a table of the local sites. Then, a second table of participant names and titles.
Alabama Local Competitions – registration deadline is Jan 18, 2025 to be guaranteed a local competition spot. Students should self-record a zoom meeting as a 12 min presentation (see above link for more details). You will receive a google-drive-link to submit this. In the virtual meet, you will use 2 min to introduce your project and defend it for 6. Judges may use some time to provide feedback. If you are not done, just record where you are. There is a separate state registration, and if more than 60 participants register, you will then be invited to state based on local observations. For the state registration, you will then provide a Statement of outside assistance (SOA), an abstract, and the final paper (like a lab report) must be done and brought to competition.
All state registrations (TBA) must be finalized by 2/8/25 to be included in the state program.
