Best Poster Competition
Conditions
If you are an IBS member (including student members) and if your abstract is accepted for

, you are eligible to be considered for
Best Poster Presentation Prize

The aim of this competition is to encourage the use of poster presentations and encourage the participation of all delegates in the poster sessions at the
International Biometric Conference (IBC)
.
The competition is divided into two categories:
‘Student’
and
‘Professional’
. Typically, one award is given in each category.
Award winners are recognized at an
Awards Ceremony
during the conference, as well as in the Society’s quarterly newsletter, the
Biometric Bulletin
, and on the website. Best poster presenters are also awarded free membership in IBS for one year.
Application
Initial application is at
abstract submission
. The abstract submission must indicate application for this award. To be considered in the ‘Student’ category, the lead author and presenter must be designated as a student during abstract submission.
If the paper is accepted for
poster presentation
