Each year during the Annual Meeting, students are offered the opportunity to present their research. Explore the opportunities below.
Student Competition For the President's Prize
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.
When submitting presentations to the Student Competition, students become eligible to 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

Student Non-Competition Sessions

Student non-competition 10-minute presentations will be scheduled for Sunday. Student non-competition poster displays will be scheduled for Tuesday.
