The host city prepares a convention center and hotel accommodations for the event, hosts numerous events and manages college tours around the convention center. The 2006 Intel ISEF took place in Indianapolis, Indiana , May 7-12. In 2007 it was held in Albuquerque, New Mexico , May 13-19. Upcoming locations are 2008 Atlanta, Georgia ; 2009 Reno, Nevada ; and 2010 San Jose, California . CONTESTANTS Contestants are selected from regional fairs that feed into the ISEF. These fairs usually encompass multiple states or entire regions of a country. The regional fair committee is responsible for managing the fair when their city hosts the event. Individual science projects and team science projects both compete for prizes. Teams are composed of two or three high school students (grades 9-12). PRIZES Winners of the $50,000 grand prize scholarship at the 2005 Fair in Phoenix, Arizona were Ameen Abdulrasool from Chicago, Illinois , Stephen Schulz from Nordrhein-Westfahlen , Germany , and Gabrielle Alyce Gianelli from Orlando, Florida .
