Note: There is no additional registration needed to attend state competition, other than entering the competitions. However, all attendees (students and adults) need to bring a signed photo release form (links below). If any individual has already submitted a release form for FGE earlier this school year, there is no need to submit another form.
Release Forms
New! This year once you provide us a release form (either electronic or paper), it will be good for all PAGE-sponsored FGE events for the entire school year. No need to submit another one until next year! ☺️
Also new! You have the option of using an electronic release form or the traditional paper form. When students and parents submit the electronic form, we will let you know we have received it.
