Poster AwardS
Each conference will recognize a selected poster at the cum laude level in each poster session for the quality of work presented and for the presentation itself. A number of posters, limited to no more than five to ten percent of the best posters presented, will receive honorable mention.
Award recognition will occur in the conference meeting rooms. During the receptions, award ribbons will indicate the winning posters and personalized certificates will be distributed.
Basis for selection:
- Work should be of a standard of excellence as judged by the quality and quantity of results presented. It should include results that are both significant and new to the field of study. Conclusions should be well supported by the results, and relevant references should be cited.
- Presentation should be well organized, clear, and concise. It should be self-contained, giving adequate background, concise results, and relevant references. Graphic design will be considered only to the extent that it contributes to the clarity of presentation.
- A conference may give preference to first authors who are students or who are within five years of their terminal degrees.
