H. Jesse Walker Student Illustrated Poster Merit Award: Call for Posters

The Student Poster Merit Award competition is held each year in conjunction with the AAG annual meeting. The eligibility requirements for this award are as follows.

Eligibility. Full-time or part-time undergraduate or graduate students may compete for this award if they are (1) the first or sole author of a poster concerning coastal or marine geography which they will be presenting at the annual AAG meeting and (2) have submitted the completed application form, or email with the required information, to the award committee by the closing date for paper submissions to the AAG. Illustrated and Guided Posters are judged both on content of the poster and on the quality of the presentation.

Awards. An individual award consists of an $150.00 grant to be used to defray AAG and Coastal and Marine Specialty Group membership dues and travel expenses to the annual meeting and recognition on the Special Interests Group's website.

Instructions. Follow the program participation guidelines outlined in the Newsletter of the AAG as an individual participating in a Illustrated Poster Session. E-Mail a electronic copy of your abstract, your Participant Number (assigned by the AAG when you register on-line), and the following information to the Coastal and Marine Specialty Group Vice-Chair.
