We are happy to announce the Seventeenth Annual Poster Competition for Graduate Students! The poster session will occur in-person on Monday, June 10th at the JLUO Annual Meeting in conjunction with a reception. The first, second, and third-place prizes will
be $400, $300, and $150 respectively. <b>Each</b> winner will additionally receive $450 in travel support to present their work at a meeting of their choosing.</div>
<p style="direction: ltr; text-align: justify; margin: 9pt 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; color: black;">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.</span></p>
