Posters for the competition must be submitted online as a PDF and then printed and displayed at the CFAES Annual Research Conference. Participants are expected to show their posters from approximately 10-11:30am at the Annual Research Conference April 21, 2020. This portion of the competition will constitute 15% of the total poster score and additionally provide a great opportunity for students to gain experience discussing their research with peers.
