GOLD

- Improve the function OR characterization of an existing BioBrick Part or Device OK
- The growth of the Registry depends on having a broad base of reliable parts. This is why the improvement of an existing part is just as important as the creation and documentation of a new part. An "improvement" is anything that improves the functionality and ease-of-use of a part, so that it is more likely to be used by the community. "Characterization" is a measurement of a functional parameter of a part, preferably in absolute units, that can precisely and repeatably be performed in other labs. 
- Help any registered iGEM team from another school or institution 
- iGEM projects involve important questions beyond the bench, Describe ,Evaluate your approach, including whether it allowed you to answer your question(s), how it influenced the team’s scientific project, and how it might be adapted for others to use (within and beyond iGEM). We encourage thoughtful and creative approaches, and those that draw on past Policy & Practice (formerly Human Practices) activities. 

SILVER

- Experimentally validate that at least one new BioBrick Part or Device of your own design and construction works as expected 
- Document the characterization of this part in the “Main Page” section of that Part’s/Device’s Registry entry  -Submit this new part to the iGEM Parts Registry 
- iGEM projects involve important questions beyond the bench, for example relating to (but not limited to) ethics, sustainability, social justice, safety, security, or intellectual property rights. Articulate at least one question encountered by your team, and describe how your team considered the(se) question(s) within your project. Include attributions to all experts and stakeholders consulted. 

Bronze

- Team registration 
- Complete Judging form 
- Team Wiki
- Present a poster and a talk at the iGEM Jamboree 
- The description of each project must clearly attribute work done by the students and distinguish it from work done by others, including host labs, advisors, instructors, sponsors, professional website designers, artists, and commercial services 
-Document at least one new standard BioBrickPart or Device used in the project to the project and submit this part to the iGEM Registry 
