Mailed registration forms will not be accepted. The non-refundable registration fee for each student is $10. If a team submits an entry, each team member must pay the $10 fee. After the registration deadline, you will be contacted to confirm the category of your project to prevent confusion on the day of the fair. 

 Participation in the Regional Independent Home School Technology Competition requires the following conditions: 

• Participating schools must send one school advisor to volunteer at the competition as well as one additional volunteer to manage the participants from the school. School advisors will assist with the check-in points, monitoring the judging rooms and the halls, assisting students transporting projects to the judging rooms, and turning in the judges’ results so that they can be tallied. 

• School advisors are required to advise the parents of the students at their schools that parents are not permitted in the judging rooms. Parents or guardians will not be permitted beyond the designated student check-in point to access the judging rooms. Volunteers will be available to assist students with transferring their projects into the judging rooms. While not presenting, students will wait in the dining hall with their parents or guardians. Volunteers will be available to help students bring their projects into the judging rooms.
