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.</div>
