STUDENT REGISTRATION

WBRSF

All WBRSF student participants must register using the official online registration form. This registration must be completed at school with the assistance of the school science fair coordinator to prevent duplicate or incorrect registrations. The school science fair advisor will guide students in completing and submitting the form.

The registration form must be signed by both the student(s) and the school coordinator. Once signed, the form will be sent to the student’s parent(s)/guardian(s) for their signature. The fully signed form must then be returned to the school coordinator and submitted to WBRSF. For assistance with registration, please contact your school coordinator.

All schools or classroom science fairs intending to send finalists to the Wood Buffalo Regional Science Fair must submit a School Fair Registration Form. The information on this form is used to determine the number of finalists eligible to attend the Regional Fair.

Please ensure that all participating students have reviewed the WBRSF Fair Rules and Safety Regulations before completing their registration.

 Participants entering projects which include experiments or studies using humans (this includes surveys); live animals; recombinant DNA; viruses; human or animal DNA, tissues or bodily fluids; or potentially pathogenic organisms are required to read our Human Subject and Animal Use Guidelines and fill out an Application to Perform Research with Human Subjects or an Application to Perform Research with DNA Biological Agents or Animals. Approval for these projects must be obtained from the WBRSF Safety and Ethics Committee before any experimentation or research begins. An Informed Consent Form must be issued to all human subjects participating in experiments, studies, or surveys.

The online registration system will generate a consent form that must be printed off and signed by the participant’s parent/guardian and teacher. This form and the $15 participant registration fee must be received by the WBYSF by the indicated deadline. It is recommended that school fair organizers collect these forms and fees from their finalists.
