NEW!! PAPER SUBMISSION PROCEDURE
New this year is the electronic submission of student papers and abstracts. State qualifying students are to email a single Word (.doc) version of their paper and abstract to Michelle Norgren, state director, at michellenorgren@missouristate.edu. Hard copies of the papers WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED. The submission should be a single Word document that contains all the parts of the complete research paper. The student is NOT to send each page, picture, spreadsheet as a separate file. It is not the responsibility of the director to assemble the paper into a single presentable document. The paper will be converted to a PDF document and posted to a password protected location on the MJAS website. The link and password will be provided to the state judges and they will have the opportunity to print and review the papers in advance of the state competition, thereby making this truly a paper competition supported by an oral presentation.
If you are sending a file larger than 5M, please use the following program to package your large file in to a size that can be received http://www.pando.com/install-pando
