Eligibility: All posters will be eligible for nomination for this award providing that they meet the requirements and guidelines for MMM poster presentations and sessions, as described on the website. The presentations should consist of well-prepared visual materials about the work, posted on a designated board. It is required that an author be registered for the conference and in attendance to present details and answer questions during the designated session time. Since the award will be made at the session, it is recommended that the authors be present for the majority of the session. All posters must include a full contact mailing address in the case that the authors are not present when the award is made.

Nature of Award: This award consists of a $50 certificate. The awards will be made in the last hour of each poster session. A ribbon will also be attached to the successful posters. Winning posters will be prominently displayed through the remainder of the conference.

Selection Process: A Poster Award Committee will review all of the posters at the beginning of each session. Nominations will be made by the individual session chairs which will be forwarded to the Award Committee. Selections will be based on the level of the research, quality of the poster, and clarity of the presentation.
