POSTER CONTEST

Guidelines for Joint Pest Management Societies Poster Contest

The poster contest is open to all undergraduate students, graduate students, industry representatives and scientists. However, only members of either of the three organizations, Mississippi Association of Plant Pathologists and Nematologists, Mississippi Entomological Association, and Mississippi Weed Science Society, are eligible to compete in the contest.
Winners will be announced during the joint conferences luncheon. First, second, and third place posters will be awarded $100, $75, and $50 cash prizes, respectively.
Individuals that win first place cannot submit the same research information in subsequent years and win the contest.
Participants must provide a board to display the poster. Boards, 4 feet wide by 4 feet high, are recommended. Easels will be provided at the joint conferences.
English or metric units of measurement are acceptable. Similarly, either common chemical names or trade names can be used in the display. Authors are encouraged to be consistent with the use of either.
To be eligible to compete in the contest, posters must be on display by 12:00 noon of the first day of the first Society meeting.
Authors will not be present at time of judging.
