• A maximum of 15 projects can be entered from any high school, and a maximum of 12 projects can be submitted from any middle or grade school. A student may enter NEOSEF as an independent if his/her school does not conduct a school-wide science fair, but the project limits per school still apply.

• Students may only submit one project to the fair. Students cannot resubmit a previous year’s project unless it has been substantially expanded and re-developed. Group projects are not accepted at NEOSEF!

• All projects at NEOSEF are subject to the review of the Fair Director and the Scientific Review Committee (SRC). Projects which do not adhere to correct scientific principles or which involve inadequate protection of human or animal subjects may be disqualified. Students can assume approval of their project unless they are contacted by NEOSEF.
