The wiki freeze is tonight! Be sure to have all of your project information on the 2009 iGEM wiki by 11:59pm EDT. You will not be able to make any edits to the wiki after that time.

Also due:

• Judging form
• Project and part documentation
• DNA submission

You can now submit your team's judging form! The forms are due on October 21 at 11:59pm, EDT. You may edit the form up until the deadline, at which point the wiki will freeze and you will not be able to make any changes.

Note: Software tool teams now have a specialized version of the judging form that reflects the medal requirements for software teams.

There is only ONE week left until the wiki freeze! Be sure to finalize all of your information on the iGEM wiki and the Registry before the deadline so that the judges can review your project.

The judging form is also due on October 21 at 11:59pm, EDT. The form will be released shortly so keep checking 2009.igem.org for updates.

The Jamboree is less than a month away, and although you must be busy with preparations, you should also think about your team t-shirts. You're representing your team and university, so why not show off!

Design and wear your team t-shirt, especially for the iGEM from Above photograph. And since this year's Jamboree falls on Halloween (October 31) weekend, it'll be fun to have a team costume or mascot.

We're currently looking for volunteers who would like to help out during the iGEM 2009 Jamboree (October 30th to November 2nd). If you're an iGEM alum, interested in synthetic biology, or would like to take a peek at what we're doing at iGEM and the Registry of standard parts, we'd love to have your help. Check out the volunteer page to see how you can help.
