Register your team

How finalists are chosen
Open registration, no cap. After submissions close on Sat 9 Jan, reviewers score every valid submission online (10–12 Jan), and 3–5 finalist teams per track in each age group present live on Finals Day, Sat 16 Jan. Registering doesn’t guarantee a place in the finals. Every participant is welcome at Demo Weekend (Sat 16 – Sun 17 Jan), every team may exhibit on Sunday, and every valid submission receives a certificate. Every team hears by email on Wed 13 Jan.

What S$68 covers
Resource pack · screening and judging · Demo Weekend entry · student lunch · certificates, whether or not your team is a finalist. Not included: devices, tools, transport, and lunch for accompanying adults.
Parents and guardians confirm every place
- A parent confirms every place under 18. Each family confirms for its own child, by email.
- Ages 7–12: a lead adult (teacher or parent) registers the team, looks after safety and comes to Demo Weekend. Each member’s parent or guardian also confirms their place.
- Each parent or guardian reads the Rules & Agreement, Privacy notice, Code of Conduct and Refund policy, and confirms separately for their own child.
Four steps
- Fill in the team form (about 10 minutes) and pick your quest.
- Each member's parent or guardian confirms by email.
- The team representative pays for the team within 3 days.
- Your place is confirmed: your full challenge, starter card and resource pack arrive by email, and you can make your Player Cards.
Before you start, have ready
Team name (it’s also your hashtag: letters and numbers, no spaces) · each member’s full name, display name, date of birth, school and level · each parent’s or guardian’s email · your quest (you can change once, until 2 Jan) · presentation language · dietary needs · any support needed to take part (optional) · number of accompanying adults (max 1 per student) · for ages 7–12, the lead adult’s details · a referral code, if a friend gave you one (optional).
Pick your track
Pick one quest when you register. One track change allowed until Sat 2 Jan 2027, 23:59 SGT, using the link in your confirmation email. Read the four quests. Can’t decide? There’s a Spin for a track button just before the form.
Fee-waiver places
About 15 fee-waiver places are available for students who need financial support. Apply with proof of school financial assistance or a short note from a teacher. No bank statements. If you don’t have either but have a real need, tell us briefly and we’ll review it. Two staff members review applications privately; judges and partners are never told. If some members receive a waiver, the rest of the team pays as usual. Your registration stays open while we review, your challenge unlocks once every parent has confirmed, and we’ll reply within 5 working days. If more people apply than we have places, we decide by financial need and order of application.
To apply for a fee-waiver place, email hello@ (address to be confirmed).
Event conditions
YAI Singapore · Season 26/27 goes ahead if the event conditions are met on Fri 4 Dec, including the number of confirmed students. If not, we’ll postpone or cancel and tell you by email. If we cancel, you get a full refund and your project stays yours. If we postpone, you can keep your place or take a full refund.
Keep the weekend free
If your team is chosen as a finalist, you’ll present on Sat 16 Jan, so please keep that day free. Every participant is welcome at Demo Weekend, finalist or not, and every team may exhibit on Sun 17 Jan.
