Jr Model UN
Conference Awards and Scoring
Prior to the conference, participants in Jr. Model UN research their topics in order to prepare well for oral arguments and written resolutions. Good preparation is important for making good speeches, debating well, participating in caucus discussions, and contributing to resolution writing during committee sessions.

Conference awards are made to students in order to foster excellence in preparation for and participation in Jr. MUN activities. In making awards, an overriding concern is to create an environment of fairness and impartiality in the evaluation of each delegation. Chairs of committees evaluate the delegations and individuals in their committees who have contributed the most based on certain criteria. Awards of certificates are presented at the end of the conference.

By rewarding outstanding performance, CCWAMUN seeks to foster friendly competition among individual delegates, as well as among the various delegations participating in the conference.

Delegation Awards

During committee sessions, the Chairs and/or Assistant Chairs and MUN Observers evaluate each delegation, marking a scoring rubric for participation for the four scoring categories:
1. Verbal Skills: Formal Debate and Moderated Caucus
2. Writing Skills: Resolutions and Amendments
3. Knowledge of Topics/Policy
4. Parliamentary Procedure
After the committee sessions, the MUN Observer tallies marks and calculates the data for award of Superior, Excellent, and Honorable Mention rankings (highest to lowest of the top scoring delegations in that committee session). The values of the four categories are used to develop a composite score for the country delegations in each committee.
At the end of the conference, the MUN Observer - in consultatoin with the Chairs/Co-chairs - selects two delegations in each committee to receive special recognition: one delegation is awarded a Superior rating, and the other an Excellent rating, based on overall scores. Honorable Mention awards are awarded at the discretion of committee staff. These delegations will be recognized during the closing ceremonies. After the conference, faculty advisors may receive a printout of their delegations' evaluations.

Delegate Gavel Award
The SINGLE delegate from each Committee who makes the greatest contribution to activities during the Committee sessions will receive the Chair’s gavel at the closing ceremony.
