Awards Competition
Awards Competition for Student Presentations
Students commonly present results of their research at the annual meetings of the Arkansas Academy of Science. Our award competition seeks to recognize outstanding presentations made by those competing students. Categories for oral presentations include Environmental Science, Life Science, and Physical Science, at both Undergraduate and Graduate levels of competition. Certificates and cash awards may be given for first place ($100), second place ($50), and third place ($50).
In April, 2006, awards for best Undergraduate and Graduate Poster ($100) were added by the Academy, in response to the increasing popularity of that form of presentation.
In addition, a competition exists at the undergraduate level for posters in green chemistry (known as the David M. Chittenden II Undergraduate Green Chemistry Poster Award). The award consists of a $50 check and a certificate that is presented by the Arkansas State University Student Affiliates of the American Chemical Society.
Student presenters interested in any of these competitions should mark the appropriate category on the abstract submission form, to indicate their desire to compete. Presentations not entered into the competition will not be judged.
