Notice of the contest is included in the Call for Papers. The paper must be accepted by the Annual Meeting Committee to be eligible for the competition. Only one paper may be entered each year. Students may enter as many papers as they wish during their degree programs. However, students who have won first place in their category are not eligible to compete again.
Papers are interspersed among other papers of similar topics during the concurrent technical sessions at the Annual Meeting. Two or more judges will evaluate each paper.
Presentations will be judged in two major categories: scientific content and presentation skills. First and second place winners are selected in each category and are awarded $200 and $100, respectively.
