Student Presentation Opportunities

Each year during the Annual Meeting, students are offered the opportunity to present their research and win valuable prizes. There are two components to the competition: 10-Minute Presentations (oral) and Poster Displays. All student competition sessions take place on Monday.

The Student Competition Co-Chairs will do their best to group presentations on these subjects into sessions together, although a perfect fit is not always possible.

Presenters in the student competition compete for prizes, including: 

• First Place - Free ESA membership for the upcoming year, a $75 USD cash prize, and a certificate
• Second Place - Free ESA membership for the upcoming year and a certificate

For additional information, including judging rubrics, please select from the following:

Note: Students are eligible for the competition for 12 months after the month of graduation, with current ESA student or student transition membership.

Gain the experience of presenting without the pressure of the student competition. Presenters in this program will present during a non-competition student only session. 

Student non-competition 10-Minute Presentations will be scheduled for Sunday. Student non-competition Poster Displays will be scheduled for Tuesday.
