Items for Poster Display

  • You will be given a poster board 48"w x 36"h to support your research poster
  • BRING mounting materials such as thumbtacks, push pins, large paper clips, or binder clips to attach your poster to the poster board

You will be given your poster display board and a "poster number" when you check in on-site. Locate your table and attach the number to the upper right-hand corner of your poster board. The Junior Fellow Task Force on Awards will judge the poster by referencing this number.

Label the top of your poster with the project title and authors. It is suggested that the font for this section should not be less than 1" high. A copy of your abstract, typed in a large font, should be attached to the upper left-hand corner of the poster board.


Tips

  • When creating your poster, bear in mind that it may be read by interested parties from distances of 3 feet or more.
  • Keep illustrative materials simple. Charts, drawings, and graphics should be similar to those you would use in making slides.
  • Simple use of color can add emphasis effectively.
  • All lettering should be in a large font, at least 3/8" high.
  • Bring your own mounting items - thumbtacks, push pins, large paper clips, or binder clips - to attach your poster to your poster board.
