Background
The ASA Best Poster Presentation Prize was introduced in 2007 to recognise the contribution by delegates through their posters at the National Scientific Congress.

A formal presentation to the adjudication panel is required. The format of the presentation is for the presenter to provide a brief summary of the research for up to three minutes, followed by a question and answer session of up to eight minutes.
