There are two groups of judges at the Intel ISEF, Grand Award judges and Special Award judges, who judge Intel ISEF Finalists projects providing awards and prizes at the two different levels.
Grand Awards Judges volunteer their time to evaluate the projects of all student Finalists in the 17 categories and select the winners of the top awards presented by the fair in each category. To be a grand awards judge one needs to hold an M.D. and/or Ph.D. in one of the 17 scientific categories or have a minimum of six years of professional work experience in the respective category. More information on judging at Intel ISEF 2011 will be available soon.
Each year over 70 professional organizations, representing a wide variety of scientific disciplines, affiliate with the Intel ISEF as Special Award Sponsors. These governmental, industrial and educational organizations recruit their own Special Award Judges to evaluate projects that meet the specific criteria of their awards.
If you are organizing or judging at an Intel ISEF-affiliated fair, Judging Tips and Criteria may aid you with the process.
