Introduction
Every year, we have excited team members reach out to the staff at iGEM Headquarters asking us questions about how their project will be judged and if certain items will qualify them for medals. We have created this page as a part of our effort to be more transparent about the judging process and to give teams some ideas on how to improve the clarity of their projects.
The goal of this information is to help teams understand the importance of scientific communication in terms of explaining their work to a larger audience and documentation as it pertains to the iGEM competition for medals and special prizes for the 2015 season.
General Wiki Tips
Everyone involved with your iGEM team should make sure to read through the iGEM Wiki Requirements and the new material on Standard Wiki Pages for the 2015 season. Making sure that you follow these requirements should not be the responsibility of only a few team members, but rather a shared responsibility throughout the team, including the advisors and mentors.
Remember, your team wiki is the outward facing summary of all of your hard work! Everyone on the team should take pride in the wiki and we recommend that everyone on your team help contribute some material for it.
