General Information

Welcome to the Judging Hub! This page will help guide you through all of the information relevant to judging at iGEM. Information on this page includes: how teams are evaluated for awards and prizes, the expectations we have for our judges, how to apply to be considered for the 2016 judging panel, and information that we hope will help judges carry out their duties.

Being a Judge

Judging during iGEM focuses on evaluating team projects and presentations, while providing constructive and positive feedback to the teams. It is a challenging yet rewarding experience. Judges are each asked to evaluate teams during the Jamoree, which includes scoring the following: team projects, team wikis, team presentations and posters, medal criteria, and special awards. This requires a serious commitment from each judge and we expect every member of our judging panel to fulfill their duties to the best of their ability.

Judging Expectations

Understanding and fairly evaluating the various aspects of the projects that iGEM teams carry out can be difficult for both novice and experienced judges. We therefore provide judges with a Judging Handbook to provide some guidance on how to navigate this process. For 2016, we will also provide a wide range of example projects from previous years that judges are welcome to look through before and during the main competition months. Our goal is to provide this content by January 2016, so please check back for updates!

Apply to be a Judge!

People interested in being an iGEM judge are asked to fill out an application. The application asks perspective judges to explain their motivation for judging iGEM, describe any experience they have with iGEM or judging, and clearly state any conflicts of interest with the current teams. Our goal is to create a diverse and balanced judging panel in terms of nationality, gender, and career path. The judging application for 2016 is currently under development. Please check back for updates in January 2016!
