should i continue doing my research or drop out?

for context the organization that's responsible for the competition in my country held the national fair of isef , but last year when i contacted them about another science fair they do and they lied to me about the deadline and gave me a date two months before the actual deadline and i was forced to drop and later i discovered that. they weren't that helpful and it seemed from all the passed years they only take their club members (it's a club and had so much connection to international competitions like isef ect.. i wanted to join but they didn't accept me since i don't have a chapter in my regoin)

so my question here i still have this year left to participate i have an idea but i am in between i am scared that they trick me again and i don't even make it to even applying and on the other hand i've been dreaming to participate since 2022 and this is my last chance i just can't imagine dropping but at the same time i fear making smthng and just lose it again what should i do?
