More entries in 2013 were disqualified at various competition levels in Kansas than ever before, all due to plagiarism. Plagiarism, along with reusing a previous entry, are the only reasons for an entry to be disqualified. The following resources are intended to help students, teachers, and parents navigate the issue of plagiarism in hopes of avoiding it. 

What is plagiarism?
