Prize for the Best Poster at the BES Annual Meeting
The Society awards a prize for the best poster by a research student at the Annual Meeting. Those eligible to enter must present a poster at the BES Annual Meeting and should normally be a current graduate student, or one who has recently graduated and is presenting work that was completed when they were still a student. The entrant must be the first author of the poster and have undertaken the majority of the work being presented. A panel of judges chooses the winner and the prize is an honorarium of £250. There are normally two runner up prizes of £100.
