<p>We are happy to announce the Eleventh Annual Poster Competition
for Graduate Students! The poster session will occur on Monday,
June 19th at the Users Group Annual Meeting in conjunction with a
reception. The first, second, and third-place prizes will be $500,
$250, and $100 respectively. <strong>Each</strong> winner will
additionally receive $500 in travel support to present their work
at a meeting of their choosing.</p>
<p> Judging criteria: Judges will weigh 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. Please remember that a poster should be concise
enough to be read in its entirety in less than 10 minutes! Posters
with excessive detail will be penalized.</p>
<p> Interested students should submit an abstract electronically
(.ps or .pdf format) to: <a href="mailto:lorelei@jlab.org"
target="_blank">lorelei@jlab.org</a> Abstracts must be received
no later than Friday, June 10th, and should be 300 words or less*.
Those participating should register for the Users Group Meeting.
Students that are delivering a talk are still eligible to submit a
poster.</p>
