2023 NMUN•DC Awards

Philosophy: National Model United Nations (NMUN) advances understanding of the UN and contemporary international
issues and has positively impacted the lives of numerous delegates. We urge all delegates and their faculty advisors to
maintain an appropriate perspective regarding the awards. No one can observe every action in committee or truly judge
an individual’s learning and growth. The fundamental basis of the simulation is collaboration and cooperation among
nations, which includes working together through multilateral diplomacy. There are no winners and certainly no losers in
this process. We believe participation in the simulation is its own reward.

Criteria: The Secretariat uses established awards criteria to select award recipients. Each element – remaining in
character, participating in committee, and proper use of the rules of procedure – is equally important to the overall awards
determination process. All committees are weighted equally and delegations are rated on a mathematical formula in
relation to the total number of committees represented by the individual Member State.

Types: All awards are listed in alphabetical order by Member State (not ranked).
• Overall Delegation Awards (Outstanding, Distinguished, and Honorable Mention) are based on work at NMUN.
• Outstanding Position Paper Awards are given to recognize pre-conference preparation.
• Outstanding Delegates in Committee Awards are selected by vote of the delegates in each committee.
