Information for Judges

Judging applications are now closed
The Judging Application is now closed. Thank you to all of the amazing candidates who applied to help evaluate teams at the 2017 Giant Jamboree. If you were not selected to be a judge this year, we will contact you to apply again next year. Thank you for your time and effort!
Judging Handbook
We provide a Judging Handbook for both judges and teams to review during the iGEM season. This handbook allows everyone involved in the competition to see how judging works in iGEM.
We're excited to anounce the iGEM 2017 Judging Handbook here. We encourage all judges and at least one new menber of each team to take a look at how evaluation is conducted in iGEM.
