⏰ Poster Prize Submission Deadline
All participants in the Summer Science Symposium poster session are eligible to enter the following prizes.
Captivate (Best Title)
The Captivate title prize is awarded to the student who best balances the intellectual weight of their work with the creativity required to hook an audience.
Insight (Image Prizes)
The Insight image prizes are awarded for the best visualization of summer student research work. The entries will be judged by a committee of faculty across disciplines. There are two categories: PICTURE and DATA VISUALIZATION. Pictures may include photographs, illustrations, pictorial diagrams, or similar. Data visualization may include plots, charts, network diagrams or similar. All entries must be original work produced by the student.
Entries are submitted through Moodle as a one page PDF that includes:
- an image
- a short description of the image which includes how you captured or created it and its relevance to your research project
Entries to the image prizes are due 9:00am Monday, July 20.
The Insight image prizes come with a cash prize for each category.
The Maureen Snow Summer Poster Prize
The posters are evaluated based on their effectiveness of communicating their work to a broad audience. Interdisciplinarity is a central theme for CIS, and the RIS summer program. The division-wide poster session at the end of the summer is an excellent example where scientists from across all fields are interacting and talking about their work. A vital skill for our research students is to be able to communicate their work to such a broad audience, from aficionados to students in the field, to individuals far from their area of work. To show appreciation for Maureen Snow’s tireless work on the summer program and poster session, the selection committee will be exclusively made up of Administrative Assistants in the NSM departments.
Entries to the poster prize are due 9:00am Monday, July 20.
The Maureen Snow prize comes with a cash prize for first, second, and third place.
