STUDENT POSTER COMPETITION

Undergraduate and graduate students are encouraged to participate in the poster competition at the Annual Conference. Awards will be given in each division. Entries are limited to students who are first author on the poster (though faculty may co-author). . Students interested in entering the Student Poster Competition must indicate so by noting on their abstract submission or informing the registration table upon check-in at the conference.

Procedures and Guidelines:

  • Students may compete in both the paper and poster competition.
  • Awards given for both an undergraduate and graduate division.
  • Students may co-author the research with a faculty member, but students are required to be first author.
  • Entries for this competition are limited to a single submission per participant.
  • Oral presentations should be no longer than 10 minutes.

Awards will be announced and distributed during the MCJA business meeting at the annual conference and students participating in the competition must be present at that meeting to receive an award. The best poster from each of two divisions (graduate and undergraduate) will receive $75.00. Evaluations will be based on the rubric found here.
