Awards

Every accepted paper represents real research and meaningful work, from the questions you chose to investigate, to the methods you developed or applied, to the conclusions you reached. The awards below are designed to recognize the many different ways that research can make an impact: some papers introduce innovative ideas, some are communicated exceptionally well through an oral presentation, some make complex research accessible through a strong poster, and others bring together fields or perspectives that are rarely explored side by side.

You do not need to be aiming for an award to submit. Most accepted papers will not receive one, and an award is not what determines the value of your research. Every accepted paper represents a student who took an idea, explored it seriously, and shared what they found.
