This year, the COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted all aspects of global society. As a result, numerous colleges and universities around the world have suspended their on-campus operations and transitioned to fully online learning. In North America, this has caused an abrupt end to the 2019-2020 Model United Nations season. Conferences have been postponed, and team members have returned to their hometowns. Here at Best Delegate, we want to make sure that the community’s hard work and dedication this year is recognized through the end of the season that took place.
Each year, Best Delegate invites the North American Collegiate Model United Nations community to vote for exemplary university delegates for our annual All-Star Team! Members of the All-Star Team are active MUNers that also positively impacted the community both inside and outside committee on the college circuit. These delegates can be consistent winners on the circuit or delegates that demonstrate to you the qualities you admire in Model UN: diplomacy, cooperation, innovation, leadership, and creativity.
How does voting work?
In order to be eligible to vote, you must be a college student that has participated as a staff member or delegate at a Northern American collegiate conference in the 2019-2020 season. You are allowed to nominate up to ten delegates or staffers that you see fit, and each name will be considered one vote. Due to the All-Star Team’s emphasis on community, students may only vote for up to two delegates or staffers from their own school out of the ten total votes and, students may not vote for themselves.
Votes will be tallied, and the individuals that received the most votes will be announced as members of the North American Collegiate All-Star Team. While Best Delegate will edit inconsistencies and misspellings to the best of its ability, it will validate submissions under the following Ballot Rules:
