The annual Jamboree celebrates the culmination of the iGEM competition. All teams gather during the first weekend of November at MIT's Stata Center to share their parts and projects in competition for awards of excellence. Teams are judged based on their contribution to the community in a variety of formats:

  • the documentation of their project on the iGEM 2007 wiki
  • the documentation of their parts in the Registry
  • the submission of their parts' DNA to the Registry
  • via a conventional poster session
  • and through a 20-minute presentation

One week before the Jamboree, the iGEM wiki and the Registry websites are frozen. The community spends this week participating in the judging process by evaluating teams' online contributions to the iGEM wiki and to the Registry. The judging committee uses these evaluations plus the teams' presentations and posters at the Jamboree to determine the winners of the Awards.
