Poster Competition Guidelines

Each institution may submit up to 8 posters.

Poster Registration Forms must be submitted online by 4pm on February 6, 2015. Registrations will not be accepted after the deadline.

The following guidelines have been developed to assist you in the planning and development of your student presentations for the poster competition. Failure to adhere to the guidelines will be reflected in the scoring of the poster in the competition. Please read the guidelines carefully and share them with your students.

ONLINE REGISTRATION:

• STUDENTS DO NOT REGISTER POSTERS. This is a staff responsibility.
  
  
• Staff complete one registration per poster. For posters with multiple presenters, up to three total presenters can be entered per poster. Students may not present more than one poster and may not submit a poster and research presentation at the same conference.

• Abstracts may not to exceed 250 words. The text submitted online will be used in the conference booklet and for judging posters. Any typos submitted will end up in the booklet and will result in lower poster scores. Please proofread abstracts before submitting.
