<p>**Deadline approaching!!**<br>
</p>
<p>We are happy to announce the Seventh Annual Poster Competition
for Graduate Students. *Abstracts must be received no later than
May, 17th, 2013 to qualify*. The first, second, and third-place
prizes will be $1000, $500, and $250 respectively. The poster
session will occur on Wednesday evening, May 29th, at the Users
Group Annual Meeting in conjunction with a reception.</p>
<p>Judging criteria: Judges will weight the poster and the
presentation so that 40% of the score will come from the poster
itself (poster quality), 40% will come from the presentation to
the judges (command of subject matter), and 20% of the score will
be based on the total impression made by both the poster and the
presentation.</p>
<p>Please remember that a poster should be concise enough to be read
in its entirety in less than ten minutes! Posters with excessive
detail will be penalized. Those participating should register.
Students that are delivering a talk are still eligible to submit a
poster. Abstract submissions should be sent electronically (ps. or
pdf. format) to <a href="mailto:lorelei@jlab.org">lorelei@jlab.org</a>
no later than May 17th and should be 300 words or less. Please
forward this message to any students who you believe may not be on
the JLab Users Group mailing list.</p>
