Special Award Judging

Special Award Organizations (SAO's) recruit their own judges to choose the winners of their awards. Please note that a judge cannot serve as both a special award judge and a grand award judge.

The number of judges per organization varies with the scope of the award and the number of Finalists to be interviewed. Coordinators of Special Awards should keep in mind that judging at the Intel ISEF takes place over a relatively short period of time and a sufficient number of judges will make selecting winners a less arduous task.
