Updates for 2026
The registration system is now open. Registration must be completed by May 1.

Those handling registration for an affiliate should visit ic.futureproblemsolving.org. A new account needs to be created each year. The information entered into the registration system will be used “as is” for all event printing and posting. Please pay careful attention to your spelling and capitalization. Do not use all caps. You can download a copy of the 2026 registration brochure below.

Changes or cancellations

Changes or cancellations may be made to a finalized registration by contacting the Future Problem Solving International Office. Each occurrence is subject to a $100 USD service fee.

Cancellations made prior to the May 1 deadline may receive partial refund.

Cancellations made after May 1 will not be refunded without emergency conditions and confirming documentation.

Late fees

Registrations finalized after May 1 will be assessed a late fee of $100 USD.

Registrations not paid in full by May 1, will be subject to a $100 USD late fee and may also jeopardize their student’s participation in competitions. All payments must be in US Dollars and are due by May 1.

Payment options

Acceptable payment options are: credit card, PayPal, money order, purchase order, or check (made payable to FPSPI). Multiple people can make payments toward a single registration.

Invoices outstanding as of May 1 will have a $100 USD late fee automatically assessed. This could jeopardize student participation in competitions.

Housing

The registration packet, attached below, has information about our housing options. For more details, visit these links or contact us.

Chaperones and housing locations

Each registration must include only one housing type. If your invited participants and adults need to split into standard and premium housing, you must complete two registrations.

If you have students in both premium and standard housing, you must still meet the required student to chaperone/coach ratio (8:1) in each location. Chaperones/coaches cannot be shared across housing locations to satisfy supervision requirements.

Questions?
