Rules and Forms

Be sure to look at the Safety Forms that are required to compete in the science fair!

Safety questions should first be addressed by reviewing the IJAS Policy and Procedure Manual.

The IJAS Policy and Procedure Manual has been updated and is valid through July 2024. If you are unsure about a safety issue, please contact your Sponsor. Sponsors may contact the Regional IJAS Chair if they have questions. Regional Chairs can address many safety issues and concerns. Regional Chairs may forward requests for exemptions and questions to the scientific review committee or the safety coordinator. The safety coordinator’s contact information can be found under the Board Member link.
