Student Awards
STUDENT AWARDS
If you are a student who is interested in participating in this
competition you must meet several criteria:
1) Your abstract must have been accepted for presentation at the
upcoming IALE meeting as either a poster or oral presentation.
If you are uncertain about the status of your abstract you will
probably want to monitor the official meeting web page (http://www.usiale.org ) and perhaps contact
the meeting organizers. Note, as organizer of the student competition
I'm not involved in determining which abstracts are accepted so
I cannot answer your questions about this.
2) You must also have registered for the meeting. The details
of how to register for the meeting are provided at the official
meeting web page (http://www.usiale.org ).
3) As per an US-IALE executive committee decision, you must be
a student member of IALE (US or otherwise) to participate. Note,
the forms necessary to join US-IALE are available on the meeting
web page. If you are student who is planning on attending the meeting
and are not currently a member of IALE, you should submit these
forms ASAP. The sooner you register the easier it will be for me
to check and verify your status.
4) In order to maintain a working ratio of judges to students,
we are only encouraging students to participate who are presenting
finished product research. If the material you are presenting at
this meeting represents work "in progress" rather than a finished
product, your chances of winning are much lower and we would like
to encourage you to wait to participate in this contest in future
years.
5) Additionally, students are only eligible to compete in this
program once during the course of their degree program so it behooves
you to be tactical in determining when you will be presenting your
most competitive results at a US-IALE meeting.
6) Furthermore, only students who are currently enrolled in a
degree program are eligible to compete. This rule helps ensure
a more level playing field between all competitors.
7) Finally, no one will be considered for participation in the
competition until they go to the student competition web page (http://www.ncrs.fs.fed.us/4153/iale/main.html)
and submit their information. The database developed from these
submissions is what I will use to assign judges, etc. So just because
you indicated that you were interested in the competition when
you submitted your abstract or when you registered for the meeting
you are not signed up for the competition until you visit the competition
web page (http://www.ncrs.fs.fed.us/4153/iale/main.html)
and submit a form. If you have any problems with this web page
or with doing this, please email me and I will help you get them
straightened out. Note, please fill out this information completely
and accurately. Last year communication problems were caused when
students entered their email addresses in this form incorrectly.
