ASABE Undergraduate Project Poster Competition

Competition:

The Undergraduate Project Poster Competition is held at the ASABE Annual International Meeting. This competition encourages undergraduate students to interact with industry, faculty and fellow students by giving a technical poster presentation on an engineering project useful to agriculture and related areas. Winners will receive cash awards of $500, $300, and $200 for first, second, and third places, respectively. Posters will be evaluated in two main categories: project and presentation. The project portion will focus on the technical content of the poster, while the presentation section will evaluate both the presenter(s) and poster appeal.

Eligibility:

All current undergraduates and graduates who received a Bachelor’s degree less than one year prior to the Annual International Meeting are eligible. Participants in the AGCO National Student Design Competition and KK Barnes Student Paper Competition are ineligible for the Undergraduate Project Poster Competition.
