GSA Poster Competition
Just like last year, the Graduate Student Association (GSA) will be sponsoring a poster competition with three top prizes of $500 (1st prize), $250 (2nd prize), $125 (3rd prize). This competition is open to any grad students looking for a challenge. Students interested in participating need to follow the poster session guidelines and expect to be judged at a professional level. To participate, register for the SRS and click "Yes" where the form is asking whether you will be participating in the GSA Poster Competition.
Graduate Students participating in the GSA Poster Competition are welcome to present in regular poster sessions—please email us at srs@nmt.edu to let us know your selection.

FAQs
How will I know if I'm selected to present?
All applicants will be notified through email of your selection. The email will also include your assigned Poster Session.
How are Poster Session assignments determined?
Assignments are based on registration date. You will get priority for sessions based on when you registered.
What if I can't make it to my assigned Poster Session?
If you know you won't be able to attend your assigned poster sessions, email us at srs@nmt.edu ASAP so we can work out other arrangements. Register early so you have a good chance of getting the session you want!
How will I be evaluated for my poster presentation?
Evaluation for your presentation is done by two types of people: Evaluators and Reviewers.
Evaluators are assigned certain posters for review (your poster will be reviewed by multiple evaluators). Using the Poster Presentation Review Criteria, they will provide detailed feedback and evaluate your presentation. Anyone wishing to be an evaluator must sign up in advance.
Reviewers can be anyone, and their review can be done anytime (during your presentation). This is anonymous, general feedback that occurs for all three event types. No sign-up is required to be a reviewer.
Your evaluation information will be provided to you after the SRS is over and the information has been compiled. You may also get instant feedback from your evaluators and reviewers on-site.
Is there a poster workshop to help me with my presentation?
Yes! There will be two poster workshops offered. The first one will be on Tuesday, March 12 and the second one on Wednesday, March 27; time and location are the same for both: 6pm-7:30pm at Skeen Library, Tripp Room. Registration is required to attend the workshops, please scroll down for more information. You only need to attend one of the poster workshops.
I'm part of a group presentation. Do we have to register separately? Do we need separate abstract submissions?
Nope! Just one registration per team is enough. Just make sure to list all the team members' names and their email addresses. One abstract per group, submitted by one of the team members, is enough as well.
Have other questions?
