2018 iGEM CALENDAR
DNA Submission Deadline
You must send your part submissions to iGEM Headquarters by October 12, 11:59PM EDT.
Please note: They do not need to arrive at iGEM Headquarters by this date.
Why is this deadline important?
If you are a team in a Standard Track competing for a medal, you must submit at least one DNA part to us (for silver). Special Track teams do not need to submit a DNA sample for medal consideration, but we do encourage part submission if you have made new parts in order to help the Registry grow. (Full details on medal requirements can be found here.) Also, if you have nominated your team for one of the special part prizes, you must submit that part to us as well.
All teams must include a tracking number with their submissions. We recommend you work on the DNA Submission before finalizing your Judging Form (see next deadline).
After you fill out your DNA Submission form, you should see the status of your parts listed on your Judging Form reflect the sent-by date.
Registry Freeze
The Registry Freeze for the 2018 Giant Jamboree is on October 12, 11:59PM 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).
Judging Form Freeze
Your team judging form must be finalized by October 15, 11:59PM 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 15, 11:59PM EDT.
Wiki Freeze
The Wiki Freeze for the 2018 Giant Jamboree is on October 17, 11:59PM 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 their assessments on October 18. 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 on October 18, so make sure all changes are done by 11:59PM EDT.
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.).
Github Freeze (Software Track teams only)
The Github Freeze for the 2018 Giant Jamboree is on October 17, 11:59PM 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.
Giant Jamboree Begins
The 2018 Giant Jamboree kicks off in Boston!
Giant Jamboree End
The 2018 Giant Jamboree finishes with the Awards Ceremony in Boston!
Important Note for Everyone
Below you will see many "Freeze" deadlines. When items Freeze, those items CANNOT be edited by anyone on your team after the deadline. For example, the Wiki Freeze takes place at 11:59PM EDT on October 17. Teams will not be able to edit any of their wiki pages after that time.
These are very important deadlines (noted below with red font) and no extensions will be granted for any team. We will send numerous reminders for the deadlines via email so please add the email extension igem DOT org to your safe contacts list. All team members are responsible for knowing these important deadlines.
