A TRADITION OF EXCELLENCE

Participants in Model Illinois Government have the opportunity to compete for and earn several prestigious awards throughout the simulation. Award recipients are chosen by an Awards Committee chaired by the Comptroller. Awards are presented at the end of the simulation and students may also campaign for executive leadership roles (Governor, Attorney General, Secretary of State, Comptroller, etc.) in order to take a more active role in the organization of the simulation. Southeastern Illinois College’s Model Illinois Government team has received many OUTSTANDING DELEGATION AWARDS throughout their participation in the simulation. These awards are determined by the total amount of awards and/or offices gained by each delegation attending the simulation. MIG rules prohibit any team from winning consecutive State Championships in the same class size.
