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 <a href="https://2021.igem.org/Competition/Deliverables/Wiki">wiki requirements</a>! 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 TBD, 23:59 EDT.

Late team registration for the 2021 season opens today. For details about fees and payment, please see our Competition Registration Page.

1

Opening Day!

May 1 is Opening Day for iGEM 2021! On this day you can view and edit the safety forms, update your team rosters, make your track selection, and much more!

It’s important to note that this does not refer to the day you begin your project. Teams can begin their work at any time.



Track Selection Opens

Teams can indicate their track preference while track selection is open. Track selection will allow other teams interested in the same track to find you and possibly form useful collaborations. Your team's final track selection is due on September 24, 23:59 EDT.



Team Roster Opens

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.

Only the team members (including PIs, instructors, students, and advisors) listed on the Team Roster will be officially recognized as iGEM 2021 participants. Only approved individuals on the Team Roster will receive participation certificates, so please make sure your Team Roster is up to date! The deadline for Final Team Roster is September 24, 23:59 EDT. Click this page for instructions for how to manage the team roster.



Safety Form and Safety Check-Ins Open

Team Safety Check-In forms open and are accepted throughout the iGEM competition. Your team's Safety Form opens. Both the Check-Ins and Safety Form are reviewed by the iGEM Safety Committee. Please review the Safety Form carefully to make sure you understand every component of the form prior to the due dates.

  • An initial version of the Safety Form (Preliminary) is due on June 25 and any team member may submit these parts of the form.
  • The Safety Form (Final) is due on October 1 and your Primary PI must submit the final, completed form.


GitHub Sign-Up Opens

The iGEM GitHub Repository sign-up opens today. This is a requirement for Software Track teams, but any team writing software may request access to the iGEM GitHub Repository. Teams may sign up for access by emailing software [AT] igem [DOT] org. The deadline to submit your code documentation is October 1.



15 - 16

Opening Weekend Festival

Preliminary Safety Form Due

An initial version of your Safety Form is due June 25, 23:59 EDT. This includes your team's contact information, information about your lab, and information about your project. Any team member may fill this in and save the form for submission.

Check-in Day: Roster and Track

Today we are asking teams to add all of your team members to the roster (if not done already) and to select the track you think you might be in this year. You can access both of these actions on your Team Information Page, found through the Team List ⇗. To add team members, your Primary PI must provide you with the "Membership Code" they can see when they are logged in. Please note: For High School teams, you cannot add members directly to your roster but you can apply to join the team.



Consent Forms Due

Your Consent Forms must be submitted by July 23, 23:59 EDT.

Participants on High School and Commercial teams are required to submit Consent Forms.

If you have any problems, please email us at hq [AT] igem [DOT] org.

28

Testing Day

Teams should plan to test the following things today (if not done already): editing your Judging Form, editing your Wiki (including uploading templates, CSS files, etc., especially if you are using a software tool to build your wiki pages!), creating Part pages on the Registry (if applicable), and uploading content to GitHub for Software Track teams and any teams creating new software tools this year.

This is not a firm deadline - this is a recommended date for your team to test out these things so you can inform us of any problems and ask for help early! If you have any problems, please email us at hq [AT] igem [DOT] org.

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. Only the team members (including PIs, instructors, students, and advisors) listed on the Team Roster will be officially recognized as iGEM 2021 participants. Only approved individuals on the Team Roster will receive participation certificates after the Giant Jamboree, so please make sure your Team Roster is up to date! The deadline for Final Team Roster is September 24 at 23:59 EDT. Click this page for instructions for how to manage the team roster.

Final Track Selection due

Final track selections must be finalized by September 24, 23:59 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 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 Information Page, found through the Team List ⇗.

Preliminary Judging Form Due

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 gives you extra time to check that your Standard URL pages on your Team Wiki and Registry Part pages (if applicable) are correct before the Wiki and Registry Freezes.
Please start editing your judging form by October 1, and make sure you finalize and save your form by the Judging Form Freeze, October 21, 23:59 EDT.

Additional Team Information Due

*NEW*

To help Jamboree attendees learn more about your team's hard work and achievements from the season, we're building a new project discovery tool for the Jamboree event website, and we need some additional team information from you, including: Team photo, Team logo, Public-facing email address, and Social media accounts. Please submit your team information by October 13, 11:59 EDT.

Registry Pages Freeze

The Registry Freeze is on October 21, 23:59 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).

21

Software Team GitHub Freeze

The GitHub Freeze is on October 21, 23:59 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. We also strongly recommend any team creating a software tool upload their code to the iGEM GitHub Repository.

21

Wiki Freeze

The Wiki Freeze is on October 21, 23:59 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, 23:59 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.).

21

Final Judging Form Freeze

Your team judging form must be finalized by October 21, 23:59 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 21, 23:59 EDT.
