Graduate Junction International Online Poster Competition

Win an iPod & Cash Prizes, Closing date 15th October 2009

The new and innovative networking website for postgraduate researchers and research staff, Graduate Junction, has recently launched a fantastic poster competition. This competition is one of the first of its kind as it is not only online but is accepting entries from postgraduates all over the world.

The poster competition offers researchers the opportunity to practice key presentation and communication skills as well as the chance to share their research with an international community. On top of this they have the

chance to win an iPod as well as a selection of cash prizes. The top 10 posters will also be displayed for all to see on the Graduate Junction website.

The competition involves the researchers presenting their research in the form of a digital A1 poster aimed at a non subject- specific audience. The posters will then be judged by a panel of individuals, chaired by Dr Eleanor Loughlin of Durham University Graduate School, from both academic and non academic backgrounds including Dr Tennie Vielder from Vitae.ac.uk.

A public vote, where members of Graduate Junction will get to vote for their favourite poster, will also help to decide the overall winner.
