2024 Symposium Poster Awards

Student Poster Competition Awards

At the 2024 Water Institute Symposium, 80 student poster presenters competed for four awards of $1,000 each to support their participation at future academic conferences. This year, the competition was sponsored by The Florida Section of the American Water Resources Association and the UF Water Institute.

Each student poster was judged by three independent judges. Students were scored based on their hypothesis, their methodology, the results, conclusion, and impact, the display aesthetics and format of their poster, and their presentation skills. The top scoring posters showed that the student’s research work was original, significant, and had a large potential for impact. The students also showed a high level of knowledge of the subject and had creative, visually interesting, and a highly professional caliber poster.
