Need a break from working on your wiki?

Check out iGEM 2011 Team Calgary's wiki-freeze-appropriate video!

Team wikis for the Americas East and Americas West are no longer frozen.

Team wikis for the Asia, Europe, and Latin America regions will be frozen tomorrow September 26 at 11:59PM Boston time! Be sure to make any changes to your team's wikis before tomorrow evening!

Team wikis will be unfrozen after their respective Regional Jamborees.

Getting ready to send in your parts for 2012? Be sure to read the Sending Parts page, and check out the video tutorial as well!

Remember:

• your parts must be in pSB1C3!
• quality over quantity! A few well-characterized and well-documented parts is better than many parts which aren't!
• submission deadlines are coming up!

This is a reminder for teams to take a look over the judging criteria and FAQ pages before the wiki freeze. They contain a lot of useful information on how you will be assessed and re-iterate the Gold, Silver and Bronze medal criteria.

Judging forms for the 2012 Regional Jamborees are now available! Any team member can make edits to the judging form by logging in and clicking on their team.

The deadline for completed judging forms is:

• Wednesday September 26 at 11:59PM EDT for the Asia, Europe and Latin America regions
• Wednesday October 3 at 11:59PM EDT for the Americas East and Americas West regions.
