Veterinary Student Poster Competition

The AASV is pleased to offer the opportunity for fifteen veterinary students to compete for awards in the Veterinary Student Poster Competition, sponsored by Boehringer Ingelheim Vetmedica. Based on scores received in the original judging of abstracts submitted for the AASV Student Seminar in September, the top fifteen abstracts selected for poster presentation are eligible to compete in the competition.

All posters to be judged must be mounted in the poster display area prior to 9:00 am on Sunday, March 11. Three judges who are not associated with the participating students or their projects will conduct the judging in the poster display area from 9:00 am to 12:00 noon. The presenting student MUST be stationed at their poster for judging during the assigned time, and should be ready at their poster ten minutes in advance of the scheduled time. A ten-minute time slot is allotted to each poster for the judges to ask questions of the presenter and score the poster. The scoresheet used for judging appears below.

The results of the poster competition will be announced during the Boehringer-Ingelheim-sponsored AASV Luncheon on Monday, March 12. Boehringer-Ingelheim funds the following awards to the poster competitors (in addition to the $250 travel stipend provided by Pfizer Animal Health to each student poster participant).

1st place poster: $500

2nd & 3rd place: $400 each

4th, 5th, & 6th place: $300 each

7th - 15th place: $200 each
