This year, our 2020 Poster Contest took place virtually with judges viewing the resources available on this wiki.

We held virtual Q and A meetings to give judges the opportunity to find out more about the students and their work. Judging 13 posters covering a wide range of topics, focusing in detail on the work completed is no mean feat! But our judges were more than up for the task, taking time and care to evaluate each poster.

There were 13 poster entries with students represented 4 continents and the entire academic spectrum from high school through to PhD level. In some ways, introducing the virtual aspect made judging a little easier. We were able to accommodate presenters in different time zones around the world, as well as school/university schedules. Everyone had their slot and time with our judges, Raju Nagarajan, Ken Rowland, Nicole Navarro and Jingqing Zhang.

While each student may have been 'put on the spot' by the judges with questions at some point, it was also a fun and friendly event. Below are some photos taken at each event showing smiling faces all around!
