We will be having a poster session at the Junior Academy of Science spring meeting.  Any student that has won a district competition in the High School division and will be competing at the state meeting is welcome to prepare a poster. 

 Please note the following guidelines:

1. The posters are to be set up prior to the high school paper presentations and remain up until the conclusion of the awards breakfast on Saturday.
2. The poster session will be closed to all people except the judges during the judging period (1:00 PM – 5:00 PM).
3. The competition is limited to high school students only.
4. All poster displays must be free standing and can not exceed the following dimensions (including table): 

                  30 inches (76 centimeters) deep

                  48 inches (122 centimeters) wide

                  108 inches (274 centimeters) high including table

5. Recognition will be given to each of the top four competitors by the Junior Academy.  Competitors will be placed in appropriate categories and judged within their category.  The categories will vary from year to year depending on the papers submitted.  One cash prize per category is not mandatory.  Only high quality papers will likely be competitive.
6. Judging will be based on both technical merit and visual presentation of the research.
7. Any project using , Potentially Hazardous Biologicals, DNA, Humans or other Vertebrates must display the appropriately signed ISEF forms with the poster display.
