Since, I'm one of Jakarta Model United Nations CC, and true that much people get interested in Model United Nations (MUN), I would like to provide you a guide to be a delegate. Actually I got it from another MUN, which can be used as a references to be a good delegate.
Ok. first, what is MUN itself?
Model United Nations (also Model UN or MUN) is an academic simulation of the United Nations that aims to educate participants about current events, topics in international relations, diplomacy and the United Nations agenda.
The participants role-play as diplomats representing a nation or NGO in a simulated session of an organ (committee) of the United Nations, such as the Security Council or the General Assembly. Participants research a country, take on roles as diplomats, investigate international issues, debate, deliberate, consult, and then develop solutions to world problems. More recently, simulation of other deliberative bodies, such as the United States National Security Council, has been included in Model United Nations, even if they are completely unrelated to the UN or international affairs as a whole. In general, the participants that the executive panel considers to be most contributing are given awards, such as 'Best Delegate award'. [wikipedia.org]
Simply, it is competition to gain its awards such as Best Delegate and another awards. Of course they will provide you prize for each award given.
for more details you can go directly to [wikipedia.org]
MUN also have its database, I usually use http://bestdelegate.com/ you can simply use that link too, to find out more conference that being held. Also, they have shortlisted best delegates, ranks, and etc.
For procedures, guideline, resolution format (some of MUN have different format), and references, you can access this link. Please use it, as if its following terms.
For Indonesians, you may join indonesiamuncommunity in mailist group. They provide update data about MUN information related to Indonesia of course.
In Indonesia itself which is I knew there are several MUNs, they are: Jakarta MUN, Jogja International MUN, ALSA E-Comp MUN (for senior high), Indonesia MUN, Diponegoro MUN (planned to be in National scale this year), Nusantara MUN. I also heard Presiden Univertisy would open their first MUN this year, hope that it would be soon though :) Three of those MUNs are in International scale, they are; Jakarta MUN, Indonesia MUN, and Jogja MUN. Nusantara MUN itself, is the first MUN which is officially organized by the Ministry of Foreign Affairsof Indonesia.
Today we got, Harvard National MUN. Harvard World MUN, and Global MUN (officially organized by UN) as the biggest and most popular MUN. But unfortunately, Global MUN will not being held this year, hope that it'd be next year.
