Undergraduate students from all disciplines are invited to submit a research abstract to the U of A's Undergraduate Research Symposium Poster Competition. For each of the nine research categories, a $100 prize will be awarded for first place, $75 for second place and $50 for third place. Submissions are due by 11:59 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 1.
Abstract guidelines are available on the submission form website. Submissions will be reviewed by delegates from the Division of Research and Innovation, Honors College and University Libraries. All research is welcome, including creative and experimental projects.
Those selected for the poster round will be notified by Feb. 15 and must prepare both a poster and video to be used as part of the judging process. Posters and accompanying recorded presentations will be due by April 1. U of A faculty will judge the poster presentations and select three winners in each category to receive cash prizes.
