We have added this feature to our website to aid you in the process of administering all Regional Awards. Our goal is to reduce all paperwork, and by doing so we would like for everything to become electronic. For future years, we ask that you log onto our website http://apps.societyforscience.org/affiliated_fairs/ to retrieve all information and additional links to the particular Regional Award of interest to you.
An Adobe Acrobat Reader file for the entire mailing is available below for quick reference for the more detailed instructions provided in the hard copy mailing:
