Q&A

1. Can I use my personal account to complete the steps and enter my iGEM team in the competition?

Yes. If you are using a team member's Twitter account to enter your team into the competition, please be sure no other Twitter accounts are being used to represent your team. Any attempt to gain more entries by using multiple accounts will void that team's entry.

2. How do I retweet your original tweet?

In order to retweet our original tweet, please find the retweet icon at the bottom of our tweet. If you'd like to add a comment to our retweet, please be sure to mention tag us in your tweet so we can follow the update.

3. Can I tag 3 iGEM teams and add my comment in the same tweet?

Yes.

4. What if our team's response to the monthly competition exceeds 140 characters?

If your team's response exceeds 140 characters, please feel free to number your tweets and mention GenScript so that we may follow your response.

5. What if my team cannot create a Twitter account in my resident country?

In the event your team is not able to create a Twitter account, please feel free to contact us at [email protected]. Your team will be redirected for an opportunity to compete for sponsorship.
