Qualifying Rules
If you placed top five in any individual competition at Regionals, you are automatically qualified to compete at Nationals. Individuals may only compete in the competitions in which they qualify.
Group projects work a little differently (Web Design, MIST Bowl, and Group Projects). If your school qualified by placing top five in these competitions, your team may send any competitor to represent your school in these competitions at Nationals, as long as each student was registered as a competitor on your team at an official 2011 MIST Regional.
For Basketball, only individuals who competed with teams that placed top three may register for Nationals in Basketball. No replacements allowed.
Nationals Competitions
The theme for Nationals is the same as Regionals. All rules and topics will be the same, except for the competitions listed below:
Community Service – Students may submit any project related to the theme. See the updated ballot here.
Debate – See the topics here.
All work submitted for Regionals may be resubmitted for Nationals, either as-is, in a modified state, or entirely new. As always, it must represent the original work of the competitors. Any outside help/inspiration used must be given proper credit and citation.
All competition submissions must be turned in by or during orientations on Friday morning of MIST weekend (Arts Category competition submissions must be turned in by 9:00 AM on Saturday). If you are coming late, please contact us.
