Poster Competition:
Deadline to register posters: Wednesday, December 11
First Prize: $100 - Mary Madera
Second Prize: $50 - Karl Haro von Mogel
We focused on smaller, minimalist-design posters this year. We want to see how clear, concise, and eye-catching you can be. To see some of the ongoing discussions, click here.
For examples, see:
Derek Crowe’s “Butter Poster”: https://derekcrowe.net/butterposter
Mike Morrison’s “Better Poster”: https://osf.io/8ajqs/
Your design doesn’t have to meet any of the requirements shown in these examples. As always, communication of your research is top priority. Posters must be 36”x36” or under.
