It is also scheduled to return in 2016 and 2019. This is a very important event, not only for the 1,500+ student finalists including several winners from Tucson, but also for advancing our state's pre-college education system, attracting outstanding students to our colleges and universities, and helping meet the demands of our increasingly science and technology-based future. <br><br>There are 17 categories of competition, and at this juncture there is a critical need for judges in animal science, plant science, biochemistry, environmental sciences, environmental management, and microbiology. We are recruiting over 1,000 judges to adequately evaluate and interview the students, and we still need over 300 more judges. We urge you to help us evaluate the quality of the student projects by registering to be a Grand Awards judge and encouraging other professionals and colleagues as well. The two judging days are late afternoon May 14 and May 15. <br><br>You may register by going directly to </span><a href="http://apps2.societyforscience.org/isef/judging/"><span style='font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'>http://apps2.societyforscience.org/isef/judging/</span></a><span style='font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'> </span><a href="http://apps2.societyforscience.org/isef/judging/"><span style='font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'><http://apps2.societyforscience.org/isef/judging/></span></a><span style='font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'> .
