CARDMUN II SCHEDULED FOR FEBRUARY 27TH & 28TH
CARDMUN looks into many aspects of a delegate's participation in a committee when deciding on awards. Chairs particularly look for delegates' overall influence and impact on the committee as well as the novelty of their ideas. Substance in solutions, moderated caucuses, unmoderated caucuses, and position papers are all taken into account when deciding awards. Please contact your chairs to see if they have any specific criteria for awards.
Awards are as follows:
First Place: Best Delegation
Second Place: Outstanding Delegation
Third Place: Honorable Delegation
Fourth Place: Verbal Commendation
School awards will be decided based on the percentage of delegates who receive awards from a certain school. Delegations with at least 4 delegates will be eligible for the Best School and Outstanding School awards. Additionally, high school’s will be eligible for the Urjita Mainali Award for Diplomacy which will be presented to a school which exemplifies the diplomatic aspects of Model UN.
CARDMUN II is a TECH FREE conference. Under no circumstances should delegates be using technology during committee unless allowed by the chairs. Unauthorized use of technology may result in disqualification from awards.
Position papers will be REQUIRED for all General Assembly and Specialized Committees unless specified otherwise on the committee page.
