Tips for Success
- Your poster should be a "visual overview" of your project or case.
- It should be able to stand alone without any explanation or accompanying presentation.
- Hone the available information, data, and graphics carefully so that everything included supports and contributes to the ability of your poster to convey an easy-to-grasp message.
- Be sure added technology supports a quick visual overview of your project or case.
- Judges want to see that you are able to artfully depict the scientific value of your project or case at a glance, rather than create a technological masterpiece that relies on embedded animations, videos, and pages of information.
