IAB Sept. O6 Poster Competition
Categories:
The competition will be divided into the following 4 categories for graduate students:
- Characterization
- Engineered Particulates
- Nano-Bio Systems
- Soft Particles
Undergraduates will have their own category.
Judging:
A panel of judges selected from the industrial representatives in attendance will determine the top 3 posters in each of the 4 graduate student category as well as the top undergraduate poster.
In addition, a new "Student's Choice Award" will be given this year. All of the students in attendance, graduate and undergraduate, will vote for the one poster they think is the best.
Awards:
For graduate students, awards will be given to the top 3 posters from each the four categories and are as follows:
- First Place: $300
- Second Place $200
- Third Place $100
The winner from the undergraduate category will receive $100
The Student's Choice Award will be $300
