Poster Presentation Guidelines
Poster size: The posters must be mounted on the exhibit boards provided.
The maximum area available is 42 inches wide and 42 inches high. Please bring tacks to mount your
poster.
Time: Posters must be mounted between 2:30pm and 3pm on Friday, April 1st, 2005 in the lobby of the Earth-Engineering
Sciences Building. We will provide you
with detailed
instructions to the location of your poster at a later stage. The posters have to be taken down after the award ceremony on Saturday, April 2nd.
Audience: Posters should be prepared to reach an interdisciplinary scientific audience. You may assume the audience has
basic scientific knowledge,
but do not assume the audience is intimately familiar with your specific field or jargon commonly used in your field. Therefore, you should either
avoid that jargon or define and explain acronyms, terms, and concepts.
Judging: Judges will be using judging sheets to evaluate your presentation. Please familiarize yourself with this sheet and
design your
presentation accordingly. The judging guidelines are available online.
General: Try to keep it simple!
Avoid overcrowding the poster with too much information. Use and include only information that serves to support and clarify your main message.
Avoid long sections of text (bulleted points are easier to read than long paragraphs). Keep graphs simple and make sure they are quick to
understand.
The font of your text should be large enough to read from at least 5 feet away. We recommend that font size be 24 pt or larger.
