Student Poster Competition
All UNDERGRADUATE and GRADUATE students are eligible to participate in the Student Poster Competition. The above deadline applies for poster competition submissions.
GUIDELINES
The student should be listed as the first author (corresponding author) and the student’s advisor as the second or the last author. Other individuals may be listed as co-authors, if appropriate. A student may submit only ONE entry for the Student Paper Competition, but may submit additional poster abstracts for presentation, as space allows.
Faculty poster abstracts are welcome and will be accepted as space allows. They will not be included in the poster competition.
For the format for the poster abstract, see https://bit.ly/2RPUhAN. To submit your abstract, see http://bit.ly/OUAbstract
Submissions are evaluated on their originality, scientific merits, structure, and clarity of composition. All submissions will be peer-reviewed and winners selected based on the merits of submissions. Based on submitted PDF's of accepted posters, 10 finalists will be selected for poster judging on-site by a judge panel. At the symposium, the judges will visit and rank the 10 finalists & their posters. Finalists must attend the symposium for lunch time judging and to receive their awards at the end of the event. First, second and third place winners will be selected and these winners will receive a certificate and monetary awards ($300 for first place, $200 for second place, and $100 for third place). All finalists will receive certificates.
Poster Dimensions
Self-standing cork poster boards will be on-site for you to display your poster.
Poster dimensions should not exceed 44” x 68” Push pins will be available for you to affix your poster to the display boards
