The Ohio Psychological Association invites undergraduate and graduate students and faculty conducting research on psychology-based topics to present poster summaries at its annual Convention, Nov. 10-12, 2010. Posters may report on empirical (quantitative or qualitative) studies or non-empirical theoretical/review projects. This year’s poster session will offer special recognition to undergraduate and graduate students who have the most exemplary posters. Four prizes will be awarded: best graduate empirical project, best graduate non-empirical project; best undergraduate poster; and new this year, the People Choice's Award! Registration is open to the first 50 accepted posters.

Cost is $25 for paid OPA student members and $30 for non-paid student members, which includes one lunch and a backboard to display your poster on.

Note: if you are bringing additional presenters with you, you must register them for the lunch ($20) on your registration form or they will not have a name tag.

Lead authors of winning posters will be given:

a cash prize
an opportunity to highlight the research in a 2011 issue of the Ohio Psychologist
one-year free membership to the Ohio Psychological Association, and
