Competition/Deliverables
Every iGEM team is responsible for completing the deliverables listed below. These items are used to evaluate your team, in addition to the other medal and award criteria. Failure to complete these deliverables may impact your team’s chances at winning medals and prizes during the Giant Jamboree. All teams must fulfill Deliverable #5 Judging Form to be eligible for medals and awards.
All teams must fulfill Deliverable #7 Safety Forms to compete as an iGEM team, regardless of the medals or awards you are hoping to compete for during the Giant Jamboree. Failure to complete Deliverable #7 Safety Forms will result in your team's disqualification from the competition.
