How the Poster Competition Works<\/h2>\n

Participation in the poster competition is voluntary. That is, an author may elect to enter the General Poster session and make a poster presentation without entering the competition. For those who wish to compete, there are two rounds in the competition. In Round 1, the poster competition chairs will screen the submitted posters for their fit-for-competition and determine the posters to be evaluated in Round 2 by the judges. In Round 2, judges will evaluate each poster and watch the pre-recorded presentation videos and then will meet with the authors via zoom for question and answer period.  After the judges submit their scores for each poster, the competition chairs will identify the first, second, and third place winners. The recognition includes a certificate, an award check, and announcements on the INFORMS website and in INFORMS newsletters.<\/p>\n

What is an ePoster?<\/h3>\n

An ePoster is an electronic poster displayed digitally instead of being printed on paper as a traditional poster. In 2021, the finalists of the competition are required to present their final poster this way.<\/p>\n
