March 26, 2022: Extemporaneous Writing UPDATE: The process for completing the essays at ILC will vary slightly from what is posted in the event guidelines. At ILC, competitors will still bring their own
laptop. Instead of typing the essay in a Word document, competitors will type the essay directly into a form online (similar to a google form). The link to the online form will be given to competitors upon arrival to the event. This means the points on the judge rubric for the formatting of the typed pages and title page will be removed. Laptops must be able to connect to Wi-Fi and both the Wi-Fi password and the online form link will be provided to competitors at the event site in Nashville.

March 12, 2022:  Health Career Display & Medical Innovation UPDATE:  March 7, 2022: For ILC, competitors will be allowed to upload a maximum of 5 photos of their display/exhibit to Tallo by the May 15 deadline. This is an increase from 3 allowed in the original event guidelines. The additional photos will better allow competitors to represent their work for judges, who will be scoring round 1 virtually.
