Judging Form Instructions

1. Click on the "Edit" link found at the top right-hand side of the Judging Form.


2. For Medals: Carefully review each "Required link" to make sure your team has the right information on those pages for the medal criterion. If you used Parts for Bronze #4 or Silver #1, enter your Part numbers in the appropriate text boxes. If you did work for Gold #2, enter the Part numbers in the appropriate text boxes. If you did work for Gold #7, enter the URL from your wiki into the text box for that criterion.


3. For Special Prizes: For each Special Prize you want to nominate your team for, carefully review each "Required link" to make sure your team has the right information on those pages for that Special Prize. Write up to 150 words for each Special Prize and add the text to the appropriate text box on the Judging Form.


4. Save: Scroll up to the top of the Judging Form page and click "Save" to save your changes.


5. Review your Judging Form to make sure all of your changes were saved.


6. You can email hq [AT] igem [DOT] org at any time with questions about error messages on your judging form.

Other Judging Form Requirements

1. You MUST remove the alert box for any medals or awards you plan to compete for before the Wiki Freeze on TBD. See here for instructions: https://2021.igem.org/Judging/Pages_for_Awards


2. If your team worked with Parts this year, then you MUST create Registry Part Pages (see Add a Part for details) for all parts that you intend to submit for medal criteria and for part awards. These Part Pages must be created by TBD so you can add your Parts to the Judging Form for the Preliminary Judging Form deadline. However, you can still add more details to the Part Pages after the Preliminary Judging Form deadline. The Registry Freeze will take place on TBD, so that is the deadline for completing your Part Pages content. You cannot add part pages to the judging form after the Judging Form Freeze (TBD).


3. The judging form MUST be finalized on TBD. You will not be eligible for any awards that you don't tell us about on the judging form, including medals!
