Tips for Visuals & Text

Present numerical data in the form of graphs, rather than tables (graphs make trends in the data much more evident).If data must be presented in table-form.
Visuals should be simple and bold.
Avoid acronyms and extensive mathematical notations as much as possible.
Posters with 800 words or less are perfect. Avoid submitting compactly packed, high word-count posters.
Organise your poster into subdivisions, e.g., Introduction, Methods, Results, Discussion, Conclusions, and Literature Cited (avoid using too many citations).
Use bright colours to enhance the detail.
Text should be readable from 1m distance.
Besides your project, the text could also include future research plans or questions.
Each poster should be A0 size, 841 x 1189mm and printed by the author.
The title, contents and the author’s information should be clearly visible.

Posters will be judged by an expert panel headed by Neil Farmer, Executive Director, Tony Gee & Partners, during the drinks reception following day one of Amconf.

The selection of the winner will be based on:

The clarity of poster and oral presentations.
Your overall responses to the questions of the judges and the completeness of work.
