• name uploaded files clearly with unique names

Judging forms now available. Deadline: October 17th

Judging forms are now available! Judging forms are used to communicate your work and achievements with the judges. Judges will look at your wikis, but these forms help them understand where to look, especially if you have many pages. The forms are available on the 2014 Judging Forms page. Please login and complete them now! The deadline is the 17th of October. Please see the official iGEM calendar for for important deadlines.

Safety forms now viewable from Official Team Profile

We have added links on your Official Team Profile page, so that participants and judges can view (but not edit) your safety forms. There is no need to copy the whole content of your safety forms onto your wiki, although we encourage you to write something about safety.

part submissions

As you're preparing your part submission to iGEM HQ, be sure that your part follows these requirements:

1. parts shipped to the Registry must be documented on the Registry
2. parts must be BioBrick (RFC 10) compatible
3. samples must be in pSB1C3, the Registry's standard shipping backbone

Please also note that part submissions should be either liquid DNA samples or dried DNA samples, but that we no longer accept paper submissions. Please read the DNA submission, submission requirements, and submission formats pages for additional information and details.
