Abstract-Based Award Competitions & Abstract Recognition Awards

Poster Prizes

The Poster Session is one of the core events of the APSAD Conference, as selected abstracts from all disciplines, are presented by colleagues from across Australasia and the world. The poster session offers a platform to see and discuss achievements, ideas, and developments face-to-face. The best poster presentation awards were established to recognise the scientific merit exhibited in poster presentations at APSAD conferences.

There are four $200 prizes for best poster. Assessment will be based on content and presentation. The judges will be appointed from the Scientific Advisory Committee and their decision will be final.

Categories:

• Early Career Poster Prize
• Mid-Career Poster Prize
• Senior Scientist Poster Prize
• Clinician Poster Prize

Peoples' Choice Poster Prize

All posters presented at the conference are automatically entered into the competition. Delegates will be provided the opportunity to vote for the poster they feel is the best, and the winner will be decided by ballot. The winner will receive a certificate.

Late Breaker Prize

The Best Late Breaker Presentation Award was established to recognise the scientific merit exhibited in presentations at APSAD conferences.

The presenter judged as preparing and delivering the Best Late Breaking Presentation receives a certificate and $150. The prize will be announced at the Closing Plenary session of the conference.

There will also be certificates for the runner up and an honourable mention.

The Late Breaking Presentations are judged based on original scientific importance or clinical or policy relevance, and clarity of presentation.
