Event Rules (click here)<\/u><\/summary>\n

By participating in the Paper Airplane Contest, participants agree to comply with all the above rules and regulations. The organizers have the authority to disqualify any participant who violates the rules or engages in unsportsmanlike conduct.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The objective of the paper airplane contest is to design and fold a paper airplane that flies the furthest distance from a stationary position. The contest is open to participants of all ages. We will divide participants into different age groups for scoring and awarding prizes.
    There will be three age-group categories (age as of Oct. 5th, 2024):
    \u2013 Children (Ages 12 & under)
    \u2013 Teens (Ages 13-19)
    \u2013 Adults (20 years old and up)<\/li>\n
  2. There will be two independent contest sessions for each age group during the day. A morning session and an afternoon session. Prizes will be awarded to the winners in each session, in each age group. Participants can compete in both the morning and the afternoon sessions if they wish, although we ask the winners of the morning session to not compete in the afternoon session so that others may have a better chance.<\/li>\n
  3. Participants must be present, on-site, to fold and fly their airplanes themselves. The participant who folded the airplane must also fly the airplane.<\/li>\n
  4. Paper will be provided to all participants for folding airplanes and only a single sheet of the provided paper can be used for each airplane \/ for each trial.<\/li>\n
  5. Paper will be standard 8.5″ x 11″ copy paper<\/li>\n
  6. Participants must fold their airplanes on-site. Pre-folded airplanes are not allowed.<\/li>\n
  7. No cutting, gluing, or stapling is permitted. Only folding.<\/li>\n
  8. Participants must fly their airplanes from a stationary position, feet fixed. They cannot run or take a step forward when releasing the airplane.<\/li>\n
  9. No assistance from external devices or individuals is allowed to launch the airplane or influence the planes in-flight. Participants must launch their planes using only their hands.<\/li>\n
  10. Each participant is allowed two trials per session and participants can use the same plane twice per session or fold two different planes, one for each trial in each session.<\/li>\n
  11. The scoring will be based on the distance covered by the airplane. From the starting line to the point where the airplane first touches the ground.<\/li>\n
  12. The longer of the participant\u2019s two trials will be considered for scoring.<\/li>\n
  13. In case of any disputes or disagreements, the organizer\u2019s decision will be final and binding.<\/li>\n
  14. Participants must ensure that their plane\u2019s flight path is clear of any obstacles or people before launching their planes and shall follow all safety instructions from the organizers.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n
