<p>The iGEMer’s prize is a chance for you, the participants, to have a say in which project you consider to be the ‘best’ at this year’s competition. It is organized by iGEMers, for iGEMers.</p>
 +
<p>In order to make your decision as to which team you think has produced the ‘best project’, you will need to have a look at other teams’ wikis on the web. This can help you to decide what presentations and posters you might see at the jamboree to help you choose which team you would like to award this prize to.  What is it that you liked about the project? What do you think is particularly important in producing an iGEM project, and how does the team you have chosen demonstrate this?</p>
 +
<p>You will be given a voting ballot and instructions for how to vote <span style="font-weight:bold; color:#7fc73e;">in your team box</span> when you check in at Registration.

Either way you use it, check it out and let us know what you think. For more information, see the <a href="https://igem.org/Help:Forums">Forum Help page.</a></p>

the iGEMer's prize

iGEMer's prize

The iGEMer’s prize is a chance for you, the participants, to have a say in which project you consider to be the ‘best’ at this year’s competition. It is organized by iGEMers, for iGEMers.

In order to make your decision as to which team you think has produced the ‘best project’, you will need to have a look at other teams’ wikis on the web. This can help you to decide what presentations and posters you might see at the jamboree to help you choose which team you would like to award this prize to. What is it that you liked about the project? What do you think is particularly important in producing an iGEM project, and how does the team you have chosen demonstrate this?

You will be given a voting ballot and instructions for how to vote in your team box when you check in at Registration.

community & communication

Forum domain list

Announcing the iGEM forum system & the new iGEM videos series!

iGEM HQ has put a lot of work into creating custom forum software that will enable the iGEM community to ask questions, keep in touch, share ideas, and more. The system is a combined comment/forum system so you can comment on any page and your comments will be linked directly to the forum, or you could just post topics in the forum. Either way you use it, check it out and let us know what you think. For more information, see the Forum Help page.
iGEM Video TV

Wondering where to test out this new forum system? Leave a comment on a video on the new iGEM videos page. In order to communicate out more iGEM HQ has made, and will continue to make, a series of videos -- informational, instructional, at-the-bench, and others. There is even a collection of community videos. Want to learn something new? Share your team's video? Learn about iGEM? See the Videos page.

Note that both the iGEM forum system and the iGEM videos page can be reached from both 2011.igem.org and igem.org.
