The FWEA Students and Young Professionals (S&YP) Committee is hosting an all new Poster Competition this year. The competition is intended to provide students and young professionals the opportunity to participate at the Florida Water Resources Conference. The posters will be set up in a prominent, high traffic area in the conference hall to maximize exposure. The posters will be judged by a panel of experts on Monday May 4, 2015 (afternoon). Participants may arrange their posters anytime between 8 am and 1 pm on Monday. Posters must be on display prior to 1 pm on Monday May 4, 2015 in order to be considered. Authors must be present during the judging time (to be announced) in case judges have questions. Posters may remain on display throughout the duration of the conference. 

TOPICS COVERED

Topics may cover traditional and contemporary wastewater projects (including the wastewater collection and treatment, MBRs, brine disposal, etc.), and environmental projects (including sustainability, water reuse, wetland construction, etc).

PARTICIPATION FORM

Each participant shall submit a participation form. Participation forms are to be filled out and submitted electronically to the S&YP Chair.

PRIZES

FWEA is providing prizes for the 2015 S&YP Poster Competition. The student posters will be judged separately from the young professional (YP) posters. First place in both categories (Student and YP) will be awarded a $250 prize. Prizes will be awarded following the FWRC. Participants will indicate on the Participation Form where the check should be sent.

In the event that there are less than 3 posters in either the Student or the YP categories, all posters will be judged together. In this case, the First Place prize will be $300 and the Second Place prize will be $200.
