Awards recognise substance over showmanship — clarity of argument, command of the brief, and the ability to lift the room.
The single highest award per committee. Awarded to the delegate who most consistently combined sharp substance, persuasive diplomacy, and constructive leadership across all four sessions.
Awarded to delegates whose performance was exceptional and who anchored their bloc or shaped the resolution that ultimately passed. One per committee.
Two further tiers recognising delegates who showed strong preparation, principled advocacy, or memorable diplomatic moments. Multiple per committee at the chair’s discretion.
Two delegation-wide awards announced at closing. Large delegations (10+) and small delegations (under 10) are scored separately so smaller schools compete on equal footing.
