Judging Criteria Area Descriptions


Dear iGEM participants,

In order to group similar projects together so that they may be judged
fairly, the judging committee has come up with the following area
tracks:

Food or Energy
Environment
Health or Medicine
Manufacturing
New Application
Foundational Advance
Software

You can find descriptions of each track on the Judging Criteria page.

The judging committee hopes to award prizes in the above areas,
conditional on the accomplishments presented by the teams. Each prize
will be awarded at the discretion of the judges.


We ask that each team indicate their top three choices by sending an
email to judging@igem.org.  Please remember to include your team name.
The deadline is Wednesday October 8, 11:59pm EST.

Once the judging committee has received all of the team preferences and
assigned each team to a track, we will post the assignments so that you
may review which track you are part of.



Thank you,

iGEM judging committee
