2011 AMUN Country Lottery

A lottery for country assignments to the 2011 American Model United Nations International (AMUN) Conference will be held at the 2010 Conference on Monday, 22 November 2010, at 11:00 am.

The first round of the lottery will be held at 11:00 am. Delegations pre-registered for the lottery should plan on having the decision-maker for their group attend the lottery. Schools will be randomly drawn, then we will give each school the opportunity to affirm or change their choice of country from those available at the time they are drawn.

Lottery applications are due before 10:00 pm on Sunday, 21 November 2010. A $50 deposit is required at the time of application for each country requested, and this will be applied toward the school's 2011 fees. The deposit is non-refundable. All schools which enter the lottery will be randomly selected for first choice of country assignments. The school which is drawn to select first will automatically receive their first choice of country assignments. Each successive school will receive their first choice, unless it has already been assigned, in which case they will receive their second choice, etc. Schools which register for more than one delegation will be placed in the initial lottery for one delegation, and will be assigned additional delegations following the initial lottery.

Because of this procedure, schools should list a minimum of -15- choices for each delegation requested. Schools that cannot attend the 11:00 am lottery should list a minimum of -25- choices for each delegation requested. Should none of the listed choices be available when a school is drawn, and no decision-maker be present, the school will be moved to the back of the first round of the lottery. The second round of the lottery will not be held until all first round delegations have been assigned. Applications can be turned in prior to the lottery at Delegate Services in the Atlanta Room. Schools which are not present at the 2010 Conference and wish to participate in the lottery should mail their forms and deposits to the AMUN Executive Office at: 1212 N. Columbian Avenue, Oak Park, IL 60302. These must be received no later than 1 November 2010.

Alternately, schools may complete the Lottery Registration Form as their application, and mail a check to the Executive Office address or complete payment via our secure server. All mailed lottery checks must be received by the November 1 deadline. 2010 participants may also utilize this form and bring the form and lottery deposit with them to Conference registration. Please consult the 2010 Member State list when making your choices for the lottery.

FEE DISCOUNT FOR ALL LOTTERY PARTICIPANTS!

As an added incentive and bonus to all lottery participants, any school which registers through the lottery will receive a $5.00 PER DELEGATE DISCOUNT on all delegate fees for the 2011 AMUN Conference. Thus if you bring 5 students or 40, AMUN will take $5.00 off the regular per delegate fees for each delegate attending. Even if you add additional delegations at a later date, the $5/delegate discount will still apply.

This discount policy is one way for AMUN to thank you for your continued participation and support by giving an added benefit to schools which return to AMUN on a regular basis.

At the conclusion of the lottery, all future delegation assignments will be on a first-come, first-served basis. Please direct any questions about this lottery process to the Secretary-General or Executive Director who can be reached through the Conference Services desk in the ballroom lobby. If you have questions prior to arrival at the Conference, please call the AMUN Executive Office at (773) 777-AMUN or e-mail us at mail@amun.org.
