Paper Competition
Oral and Poster
Presentations RULES
OF COMPETITION
New
for 2004: This year’s student paper competition will include
both poster and oral presentations.
Students should indicate the forum in which they prefer to
present their papers. The
top three oral presentation abstracts and the top poster abstracts will
be selected for presentation at the 2004 Ohio Section AWWA Annual
Conference. Cash awards of
$300 each will be presented to the three speakers and $200 will be
awarded to the best poster. Topic: Any
paper discussing source water protection, drinking water treatment,
analytical methods, water distribution and storage, or other
water-related concern is invited. Abstracts: A
500 to 1,000 word double-spaced abstract and competition application
(see below) should be submitted to Ohio AWWA by April 30, 2004.
Applicants should indicate whether they would like to present
their abstract as either a poster or an oral presentation.
All students who submit abstracts will receive free Ohio Section
Annual Conference registration the day of the student paper
presentations (date to be determined).
The conference is scheduled during September.
All submitters will be notified by June 30, 2004 about the status
of their abstract. Selection
Criteria: Abstracts will be judged on
their relevancy to the drinking water industry and the originality of
the ideas, concepts and solutions presented. Oral
Presentations:
The authors of the three selected abstracts will
give a 20 minute presentation followed by a 10 minute discussion period.
All oral presenters will be given a $300 cash award and a
certificate. Poster
Presentations: The authors of the abstracts
selected for the poster session are invited to prepare a poster about
their topic. The posters
will be displayed and judged at the conference.
A “Best Poster" award of $200 will be given at the end of
the poster session. Authorship: Only current or recently
graduated (within approximately one calendar year of April 2004)
undergraduate and graduate students are eligible for this competition. Faculty advisors cannot be listed as co-authors.
However, they may act in an advisory capacity. In addition,
the abstracts from the best poster and the chosen speakers will be
published in the official publication of the Ohio Section, the Ohio Section Newsletter. For questions or abstract submissions contact: Alison
