The following awards shall be given at the closing ceremony of the Model NATO:

• Outstanding Chair

• Committee Leadership

• Outstanding Delegation

• Outstanding Partner Nation

The Outstanding Chair Award shall be given to the top chairperson, as determined by a vote of the faculty advisors and other supporting faculty after the conclusion of the final Council Meeting.

The chair and vice chair of each committee shall consult with one another and the committee’s faculty advisor(s) where available to nominate a single individual for the Committee Leadership Award. This award shall go to the individual who has made the most significant contribution to fostering consensus, capturing the essence of complex issues, and leading the respective committee toward effective action.

Immediately prior to the final adjournment of each Committee or the Council on Friday, the delegates shall vote for the Outstanding Delegation Award. Each delegation votes for three delegations they believe contributed most to the accomplishments of the committee. Chairs and vice chairs are also given a ballot. There is no ranking on individual ballots.

Members of the Political-Military Steering Committee on Partnership for Peace will also vote for the Outstanding Partner Nation Award. Each delegation and the chair and vice chair will vote for two partner nation delegations they believe contributed the most to the accomplishments of this committee.

The faculty advisors and other supporting faculty shall tally the votes from each committee. The delegation receiving the most votes in a committee shall get 5 points, the one receiving the second most shall get 3 points, and the one with the third most shall get 1 point. In the case of a tie, all delegations will receive the point value corresponding to their tied rank. Each delegation’s points shall be totaled across the 5 committees.

The three delegations receiving the most points will normally receive Outstanding Delegation Awards and the next three highest-ranking delegations will receive Honorable Mentions, but faculty advisors may confer additional or fewer awards in each category according to the final vote tally. Two Outstanding Partner Nation Awards will normally be given, but faculty advisors may confer additional or fewer awards according to the number of partner nations participating in the conference and the final vote tally.

Faculty who incorporate the Model NATO simulation into a credit-bearing course ar discouraged from employing measures such as number of communiqués passed, speaking time i committees, or awards won at the conference for the purpose of course evaluation as such external pressures can distort the simulation.  To maximize the experience for all participants and make it as realistic as possible, it is recommended that faculty advisors emphasize pre-conference and/or post-conference evaluation instruments in their course design.
