Graduate students and postdocs are welcome to submit TOC graphics for a poster-style competition with cash prizes up to $100 for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners!
We invite you to refer to these guidelines for instructions on creating your TOC graphic.
Submissions welcome on any topics of broad interest in polymer science.
Similar to a poster competition, entrants will stand by their TOC on our virtual platform Spatial.chat, as audience members visit and use their figure as a visual guide to introduce people to their research. Submissions from graduate students earlier in their programs are highly encouraged.
We encourage participants to keep their TOC graphics simple and easy to read, while acting as a guide to tell the story of their research. The TOC should be more populated with visuals than with text. Any text included should be sufficiently large. We encourage the creative use of schematics. Examples of compelling TOC graphics are included below:
