<p>All iGEM 2018 teams are given a namespace on the iGEM 2018 wiki with their team name: <b>2018.igem.org/Team:Example</b>
+
<h4> Each team can only compete in one track.</h4>
−
<br> Teams are allowed to create and edit pages within their respective team namespace. Teams are <b>not allowed</b> to create or edit pages belonging to another team's namespace.</p>
+
<p> The purpose of the iGEM tracks is to help teams focus their projects. The subjects areas encompassed by the tracks aim to solve crucial global challenges; for examples, students have worked on projects related to environmental bioremediation, new medical delivery systems, and alternative energy sources using synthetic biology. </p>
 +
 
 +
<p> Teams can participate in the special tracks and have the showcase space for showing off giant robots, software demos, and art exhibitions to generate buzz about these things at the Jamboree. Or you can participate as a standard track team, make parts, and compete for these special prizes as well as the Grand Prize. </p>

  <h3>Project Description</h3>
 
−
  <h5>Due date: TBD</h5>
 
−
<p> The team's project description must be documented on their iGEM Team Wiki by the deadline. The project description should be 1-3 paragraphs and only needs to include an up-to-date explanation of the project. This description should be posted on your Team Wiki home page (example URL: https://2018.igem.org/Team:Example). </p>
 
−
<p> This description will not be used to judge your project. It serves to provide some background on what your team has been working on so far and what you hope to accomplish. It also provides other teams the opportunity to see what you're working on so they can reach out for collaborations or troubleshooting if they are exploring a similar topic.</p>

<h3>Wiki Freeze</h3>
+
 
−
<h5>Deadline: TBD</h5>
+
<div class="clear extra_space"></div>
−
<p>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 after the wiki freeze, so make sure all changes are done by 11:59PM EDT. </p>
+
 
−
<p><b>PLEASE NOTE: </b>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.). </p>

<h3>Track Selection Freeze</h3>
 +
<h5> Deadline: August 24, 2018</h5>
 +
<p>Your final track selection is important as it directly impacts the Giant Jamboree presentation schedule. We aim to group teams together by track in random groups of three to fit within the presentation schedule easily. The final track selection allows iGEM Headquarters to start working on the Giant Jamboree schedule, with final changes done after Registration closes August 31. You can enter your track selection on your <a href="https://igem.org/Team.cgi">Team Profile</a> page.</p>
 +
</div>

</div>
 +
 +
 +
<div class="column two_thirds_size">
 +
 +
<h3>  Track Declarations</h3>
 +
<p>As a team, you will indicate up to 2 possible tracks that you think you will most likely compete in. This can change over the course of your project and final Track Selection will take place in August. Your final track selection may be completely different from your two track declarations. This early declaration of your possible track will allow you to communicate with other teams in your declared tracks to help setup collaborations and foster useful discussions throughout the iGEM season.</p>
 +
 +
 +
<h3> Remember... </h3>
 +
<p> Institutions can also send two teams to the Jamboree. We have offered this option to software and wetware teams for many years. You can decide to split your team into two teams later than the regular registration deadline, so you can start in the lab before deciding if you have a great special project you want to show off! As with every team, there will be a registration fee, but registering a second team will come with the multiple team discount. Keep in mind, two teams gives you two presentations, two posters, and two chances to win most of the special prizes. See the <a href="https://2018.igem.org/Competition/Registration">Competition Registration</a> page for instructions on how to register multiple teams.</p>

    <h4>1.- Teams cannot edit, disable, hide, or alter the iGEM Login Bar</h4>
 
−
<div class="highlight">
 
−
<p>All iGEM 2018 Team Wikis are required to have the iGEM Login Bar. The Login Bar includes essential links, tools, and information for all users: both wiki creators and viewers. The judges need these tools.</p>
 
−
  <p>The iGEM Login Bar is a 20 pixel high, full-width menu bar that exists on all 2018.igem.org pages. It contains: iGEM related pages, wiki tools (edit, history, watch, etc.), search tools, team information (not released yet), login, and the site menu. It serves as a quick navigation tool for all users and must be maintained on all of your team wiki pages as a result.</p>

−
        <p>Adobe flash is not permitted on team wikis. It's now considered to be an outdated video player and has had many security issues in the past. It's also not open source, which goes against iGEM's goal of making everything in the competition open source.</p>

<h4>4.- Teams must host <i>all content</i> on 2018.igem.org</h4>
+
−
<div class="highlight">
+
−
<p>All team pages, images, documents <i>and code</i> must be hosted on the <i>2018.igem.org</i> server. </p>
+
−
    <p>Load your CSS and Javascript into the wiki, either directly into your page or using templates. Do not link to scripts or stylesheets that are hosted on other servers.</p>
+
−
    <p>We preserve all iGEM content on our own servers so future teams can learn from what you have done. When you store content on your own sites or servers, after time, links might become broken, sites might go down, and information will be lost.</p>
+
−
    <p>Additionally, hosting content outside of 2018.iGEM.org allows teams to change/add information to their wiki after the wiki freeze. Please note that altering content after the wiki freeze is a <a href="https://2018.igem.org/Competition/Responsible_Conduct">form of cheating</a>.</p>
+
−
    <p><i>Bootstrap Note:</i> If you want to use Bootstrap in your wiki, you will need to copy the CSS code from Bootstrap and create Template File on the 2018.igem.org server with that CSS code in order to use Bootstrap in your wiki. You CANNOT use CDN support for your wiki. As this rule explains, all content <b>must</b> be on 2018.igem.org.</p>

<h4>7.- Teams cannot alter content after the Wiki Freeze deadline</h4>
 
−
<div class="highlight">
 
−
        <p>The Wiki Freeze refers to the deadline when iGEM Headquarters closes access to the editing tools on the team wiki pages. This prevents teams from editing the pages after the Wiki Freeze. This event is incredibly important because it gives our judges plenty of time to review your project and score your team wiki page prior to the Giant Jamboree. Since judges start reviewing iGEM teams once the Wiki's are frozen, this is a very real deadline and no edits will be allowed after the deadline has passed.</p>
 
  
−
<p>The Wiki Freeze for the 2018 Giant Jamboree is on <a href="https://2018.igem.org/Calendar">November 1, 11:59PM EDT</a>. Once the wikis are frozen, users can no longer make any changes until they are thawed after the Jamboree. Please note that altering content after the wiki freeze is a <a href="https://2018.igem.org/Competition/Responsible_Conduct">form of cheating</a>.

Each team can only compete in one track.

The purpose of the iGEM tracks is to help teams focus their projects. The subjects areas encompassed by the tracks aim to solve crucial global challenges; for examples, students have worked on projects related to environmental bioremediation, new medical delivery systems, and alternative energy sources using synthetic biology.

Teams can participate in the special tracks and have the showcase space for showing off giant robots, software demos, and art exhibitions to generate buzz about these things at the Jamboree. Or you can participate as a standard track team, make parts, and compete for these special prizes as well as the Grand Prize.

Track Selection Freeze

Deadline: August 24, 2018

Your final track selection is important as it directly impacts the Giant Jamboree presentation schedule. We aim to group teams together by track in random groups of three to fit within the presentation schedule easily. The final track selection allows iGEM Headquarters to start working on the Giant Jamboree schedule, with final changes done after Registration closes August 31. You can enter your track selection on your Team Profile page.

Track Declarations

As a team, you will indicate up to 2 possible tracks that you think you will most likely compete in. This can change over the course of your project and final Track Selection will take place in August. Your final track selection may be completely different from your two track declarations. This early declaration of your possible track will allow you to communicate with other teams in your declared tracks to help setup collaborations and foster useful discussions throughout the iGEM season.

Remember...

Institutions can also send two teams to the Jamboree. We have offered this option to software and wetware teams for many years. You can decide to split your team into two teams later than the regular registration deadline, so you can start in the lab before deciding if you have a great special project you want to show off! As with every team, there will be a registration fee, but registering a second team will come with the multiple team discount. Keep in mind, two teams gives you two presentations, two posters, and two chances to win most of the special prizes. See the Competition Registration page for instructions on how to register multiple teams.

TRACK LIST

Standard Tracks

Special Tracks

Important Information for Standard Tracks

  • Teams will be required to work with parts to win a medal
  • Standard track teams will be eligible for the Grand Prize
  • Standard track teams will be eligible to win special cross-track prizes like Best Software Tool, etc. corresponding to all of the special track areas (see special track list above)
  • Standard track teams will not be eligible for space in the special exhibition space at the Jamboree, in order to be fair to all standard track teams.

Important Information for Special Tracks

  • Special tracks will not be required to make parts to achieve a gold medal
  • Special tracks are eligible for most prizes, except the Grand Prize
  • We will offer cross-track prizes for all of these tracks. As with the current structure, teams in the Special Tracks will be ineligible for the equivalent cross-track prizes (teams in the measurement track will not be eligible for the measurement cross-track prize, for example)
  • These special tracks will have special showcase space at the Jamboree
