Can I use last year's forms?

It is strongly recommended that a student use the current year's International Rules as they are modified annually. However, for projects that will begin prior to the publication and posting of the current year's rules on the Society for Science & The Public website (posted by June 1), it is permissible to use the previous year's forms. Please consult with your regional fair to ensure that this is an acceptable practice or whether they would prefer that you update the forms that have changed significantly from a previous year.
