PJAS Region Presenter Permission Form We certify that this research has been conducted by the student in accordance with the International Science and Engineering Fair rules as adopted by the Pennsylvania Junior Academy of Science. We further agree to accept the Judge's evaluation of this research as final. In consideration of the furtherance of your purpose, objectives, and work and in consideration of your permitting me to participate in the PJAS regional meeting and state meeting on behalf of myself, my heirs, executors, administrators and assigns, I hereby waive and release any and all rights for damages I may have against you, the school district, and the Pennsylvania State University as well as any other persons connected with the Pennsylvania Junior Academy of Science Regional Meeting and State Meeting, their heirs, executors, administrators and assigns for any and all injuries which I may suffer while taking part in the Pennsylvania Junior Academy of Science regional Meeting and State Meeting or as a results thereof.  All presentations must take place on that day and on that site.  Secondly, the results are deemed final. There cannot be “rejudging” of any presentations.  Judges are polled before submitting their final results to ensure that the scores and the awards are acceptable to the entire judging panel.  If there is a disagreement, it must be rectified before the judges’ final submission.  Once the judging panel is released the score and award is final. The large number of participants competing across the state will undoubtedly produce some results that are not expected.   PJAS tries to make the evaluations as objective as possible. Using specifically designed rubrics along with orientation of judges, our judging committees do an exceptional job to ensure a fair result. We further agree to accept the Judge’s evaluation of this research as final.  In addition, we agree to make every attempt to have the student present at the Region 4 Competition and at the State Competition should he/she receive a First Award at the Region 4 Competition.

PJAS cannot guarantee that you will not be exposed to Coronavirus during your visit. The CDC advises that some people are more likely than others to become severely ill, and some people are at a higher risk of exposure to Covid-19. Guests should evaluate their own risk in determining whether to attend. People who show no symptoms can spread Covid-19 if they are infected, and any interaction with the general public poses an elevated risk of being exposed to Covid-19. By participating in all PJAS activities, you acknowledge and agree that you assume these inherent risks associated with attendance.
