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 (Sunday & Monday), the poster competition chairs and judges will screen the submitted posters for their fit-for-competition and determine the posters to be evaluated in Round 2 (Tuesday) by the judges. In Round 2, judges will evaluate each poster. 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 INFORMS newsletters, OR\/MS Today<\/em>, INFORMS Connect, and on the INFORMS website<\/p> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n
