Prize Claims
- A Symposium Prize is disbursed as a stipend in the spring as a check issued to the student. This may affect student financial aid packages. Students are encouraged to email the Financial Aid Office through the askUSC portal to discuss the potential effects of a Symposium Prize. The award could adversely affect students with Pell grants and/or loans.
Presentation Guidelines
The USC Undergraduate Symposium is primarily a “Poster Session” in which your project will be exhibited. These guidelines apply principally to traditional “poster” presentations, but students entering artistic work or other non-traditional entries should provide similar summary information about their work. The Poster Session is designed to allow you and an audience to dialog about your work. During the exhibition, faculty, staff and students will walk throughout the displays and talk with those presenting work that is of interest to them.
Content
Your poster should address key points of your work and should not include overly detailed information. You will be given the opportunity to provide the fine points about your work to the faculty judges and to others who are interested as they review your poster. Well-prepared posters facilitate discussion and achieve good coverage of the topic while maintaining clarity. We suggest that your poster provide a brief overview of your work in an attractive manner.
Traditional research posters follow a 3-column layout and generally contain the following components:
- Title and Author(s) Names
- Introduction / Abstract / Background
- Hypothesis
- Materials & Methodology
- Results / Analysis / Discussion
- Conclusion / Limitations / Recommendations
- References / Citations / Acknowledgements
Layout
Your poster should concisely address key points of your work. Posters should achieve wide coverage of the topic while maintaining clarity. Below are additional suggestions for creating an effective poster:
- Put the project title in banner format at the top center of the poster in capital letters about 1” high.
- Below the title, put your name (and names of group members, if applicable) and the category in which you are competing.
- Create a visual flow of your components so they move downward in columns, starting at the top left and ending at the bottom right.
- Make sure your poster can be read from a distance. State your main result in six or seven lines or less, in lettering about 5/8” high (60pt. font). The smallest text on your poster should be at least 3/8” high (36pt. font) and your important points should be in a larger type.
- Concision is key. Do not overwhelm your sections with text.
- Avoid heavy use of technical jargon (if possible).
- Incorporate visual elements (e.g. pictures, photographs, diagrams, figures, tables) when appropriate.
- Keep formatting consistent and clean. Avoid using too many colors or different font types.
- Try to craft your poster to be as self-explanatory as possible, which will facilitate your discussion with the audience during the session.
Materials
A table will be provided for your poster. The tables are approximately 6 feet x 2.5 feet. Space constraints prohibit us from using floor easels or affixing anything to walls/curtains. Your poster should be two-paneled or three-paneled, in order for it to be free-standing (see examples of posters).
The poster should be mounted on a rigid backing (usually foam-core poster board) approximately 3.5′ wide x 2.5′ high and 1/4″ thick. Foam boards are available from the USC bookstore or arts and supply stores. Larger size posters may be used, if desired. However, with several tables in each exhibit row, there is no space between tables, so the maximum width should be no more than 5′.
There are several ways to assemble a poster: you may paste individual pages, cutouts, images, sections, or presentation slides onto a poster board, or have a large single poster sheet printed on a wide-format plot printer.
Poster printing and posterboards are not provided by the event. You will need to make arrangements to print and mount your poster prior to the submission drop off day.
Academic departments may have a wide-format printer you can use. Check with your faculty sponsor about printer availability. Local full-service printing vendors are also an option but plan to allow up to 48 business hours for printing services.
Video Statement
As part of the event registration, you will include a short video statement that provides a brief overview of your research project. You are welcome to use existing language from your abstract or project description. This is also good practice for your live presentation during your Poster Exhibit session.
This video will be viewed by judges in advance of your Exhibit Session. With your permission, we may also share your video on the AHF website and social media platforms to promote the event.
- Video must be no more than 2 minutes in duration.
- Your statement should include the following:
- Start with your name, and the title of your research project.
- Explain your research question and any relevant background or context.
- Provide summary of methodology, findings, and next steps (if any).
- There is no emphasis on production value. You are welcome to record yourself using your laptop or phone camera. Again, this is meant to give judges a quick snapshot of your research project.
- Please upload video file as .mp4 or .mov
Exhibit Presentation
Prepare a 3-minute presentation that you will deliver in real time during the event.
Tips for Delivering a Successful Presentation:
- What is the Why?
- Why is the research topic significant? Why should the audience care about this topic? How does the research question add to or fill in gaps of existing literature? These should be addressed at the start of your presentation to capture audience interest.
- Know Your Audience
- Keep in mind that the event is intended for a general audience. While your project will be evaluated by faculty judges and postdocs who are generally familiar with your field of study, they may not know the specific contexts around your project. Similarly, those unfamiliar with your field will benefit from the context you provide.
- Think of ways to relate complex ideas to everyday experiences. Use analogies or current events to situate abstract concepts to concrete examples.
- Avoid heavy technical jargon. If there are terms specific to your field of study, be sure to define them at the start of the presentation.
- Conclude with Takeaways
- At the end of your presentation, summarize conclusions and potential next steps. Give the audience 1-2 significant points to take way from your presentation.
- Practice, practice, practice!
- Rehearse with a timer to make sure you are able to address all of your points. You can also record yourself or practice in front of a mirror.
- Pay attention to your pacing — it’s okay to take a breath and have a few pauses — you want to try and sound as natural and conversational as possible.
- Get feedback from your faculty advisor or project partners.
- Study Examples of Great Presentations
- There are many tips and examples of successful elevator pitches available online. Listen to some TED Talks or examples of 3-minute poster presentations. Here are some places to start:
