Awards Policy

On our conference website, you can find our Awards Policy. The criteria we use to grade your performance during committee are as follows:

• Quality of research, as reflected in your position papers and debate;
• Quality of amendments, resolutions, and proposed solutions;
• Ability to accurately represent your nation’s interests and policies;
• Diplomacy skills in building consensus and compromising with others;
• Effectiveness in working in caucus and resolution groups;
• Persuasive skill in communicating with other delegates; and,
• Responding effectively to situations of crisis.

BMUN also strictly prohibits the use of pre-written resolutions. All substantive documents should be drafted collaboratively in committee.

Staying on policy is one of the most critical aspects for me. Beyond that, I would sum up the above as your preparedness, rhetorical skill and influence, and ability to push your national agenda. But most importantly, try to learn something and improve upon your skills; that'll be far more important for you in the future than winning an award.
