For the first time this year the BASAS conference invites postgraduates to enter the BASAS poster competition ...
...we want you to contribute a poster!
... there is a £100 prize for the best poster!

The more posters we have the better.

This is a way to tell other scholars more about your work.

Don't be put off if you haven't made a poster before or don't have a lot of time. We're not looking for perfection and there is information below that will make poster-making simple.
If you already have a poster of your work (current or previous) → feel free to recycle it!
If you DO NOT have a poster (or are a little confused about what it should involve) → read the following:
Simplest:
Use the Poster-pro forma and instructions that you can download as a word document. Fill it in, and you will have made a poster.
If your research doesn't fit this poster format, why not try using the even simpler basic poster pro-forma
More information on Posters:
A poster is a visual representation of your research.
- It can be as big as A0.
- Font size should be at least 16 point. But can be as big as you like.
- You can use any materials you like (printed paper, photos, pictures, graphs, found objects...)
- The more graphics the better!
A poster usually includes the following sections (often others as well):
- Title of research project
- Researcher's name/department/status
- Research Objectives (or introduction)
- Findings
