We are pleased to announce a student poster competition.

 

Students are encouraged to enter their posters to the awards subcommittee. Send student's name, title, and abstract to Mark Hostetler (hostetm@ufl.edu).

 

Student award certificates will be given for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place.

 

Posters are rated for:

1) originality/scientific merit, 2) graphic presentation (visual appearance) and 3) written content (content that is well-organized, understandable, and that you follow the guidelines described below).

​

Poster Guidelines:

​

• Posters should be a maximum of 115cm high x 113cm wide.

• Title, names, and affiliations should appear on the top of the poster.

• Written content should be organized as follows - Title, Abstract, Introduction, Methods, Results, and Discussion (although Results and Discussion can be combined under one heading). For posters based on design projects, please organize as follows – Title, Concept, Goals/Objectives, and Discussion.

• A simple sans serif-face font (e.g., Helvetica, Calibri) should be used.

• Lettering for the title should be at least 2.54 cm (one inch) tall. The authors' names and affiliations can be somewhat smaller.

• Posters are not manuscripts, so limit verbiage and use tables and figures to describe the research. Details can be provided in discussions with interested parties.

• Make sure that lettering for text and illustrations are large enough to be readable from a distance of 1.5 m (5’)

• Push-pins or Velcro buttons to hang posters can be obtained at venue.
