When you register you will be asked for your school's latitude and longitude. The longitude and latitude will be used to add your school to the contest participation map. Please use the decimal degree format for longitude and latitude. Include at least four decimal places.
Example: West High School, Knoxville -83.9724 (longitude), 35.9481 (latitude)
If you don't know your latitude and longitude, you can use the GeoMentor Latitude Longitude Finder to determine your latitude and longitude.
