Medal Criteria
Bronze Medal Requirements
1. Registration and Giant Jamboree Attendance
Register for iGEM, have a great iGEM season, and attend the Giant Jamboree.
What We Did:2. Competition Deliverables
Convince the judges that you have completed the following Competition Deliverables from this page: #1 Wiki #2 Poster #3 Presentation #4 Judging Form
What We Did:3. Attributions
Convince the judges that you have completed Competition Deliverable #5 Attributions from this page. Please note: This requirement is not about citing literature references. Attributions is about describing what work your team did and what other people did for your project.
What We Did:4. Characterization/Contribution
STANDARD TRACK
Do one of these two options: (1) Successfully complete the InterLab Measurement Study. This means you have met all requirements of the InterLab Measurement Study, including acceptance of data. (2) Convince the judges that you have added new, high quality experimental characterization data to an existing BioBrick Part (Basic or Composite, must be RFC10 compatible) from the Registry. Clearly document the experimental characterization on that Part's Main Page on the Registry. The part that you are characterizing must NOT be from a 2018 part number range. Sample submission is not required.
SPECIAL TRACK
Document on your team wiki at least one new substantial contribution to the iGEM community that showcases a project related to BioBricks. This contribution should be central to your project and equivalent in difficulty to making and submitting a BioBrick Part.
What We Did:Silver Medal Requirements
1. Validated Part/Validated Contribution
STANDARD TRACK
Convince the judges that at least one new BioBrick Part (Basic or Composite, must be RFC10 compatible) of your own design that is related to your project works as expected. Clearly document the experimental characterization on that Part's Main Page on the Registry. You must submit a sample of this new part to the Registry. This part must be different from the new part documented for Gold #2. Teams must follow all of the DNA Submission Requirements and Shipping Guidelines to qualify for medals. Failure to follow these guidelines will result in a rejected shipment or sample, which may prevent your team from winning medals and awards.
SPECIAL TRACK
Convince the judges that something you created (art & design, hardware, software, etc.) performs its intended function. Provide thorough documentation of this validation on your team wiki.
What We Did:2. Collaboration
Convince the judges you have significantly worked with one (or more) currently registered 2018 iGEM team(s) in a meaningful way. For example, mentor a team (or be mentored by a team), characterize a part, troubleshoot a project, host a meetup, model/simulate a system, or validate a software/hardware solution to a synbio problem. Document your collaboration in detail on your wiki. Judges will look at your collaborator's wiki to see what they say about your interaction. Simply filling out a survey for a team is not enough to demonstrate a significant interaction.
What We Did:3. Human Practices
Convince the judges you have thought carefully and creatively about whether your work is responsible and good for the world. Document on your team wiki how you have investigated these issues and engaged with your relevant communities, why you chose this approach, and what you have learned. Please note that surveys will not fulfill this criteria unless you follow scientifically valid methods. See the Human Practices Hub (link) for more information and examples of previous teams' exemplary work.
