Poster Competition

Presenters of interactive papers (excluding senior researchers) are warmly invited to enter the conference poster competition. As the theme of this year’s conference is ‘Dyslexia: Making Links’, the BDA has sponsored the following prizes:

£100 will be awarded to a presenter who successfully demonstrates links within the field of dyslexia, whether from the perspective of theory, research or practice.
An additional £100 will be awarded for the most outstanding poster within the field of multi-lingual aspects of dyslexia research.
A further two ‘open’ prizes of £50 cash will also be awarded for posters that are judged to be of exceptionally high merit both in terms of their content and presentation style.

Entries should be visually appealing and concisely written, enabling the reader to clearly understand the nature of the issues under investigation. For additional information, please refer to the conference guidelines for constructing poster presentations.

Presentations should be formatted as either a microsoft powerpoint or pdf file, and should be submitted as an e-mail attachment to Joel Talcott (j.b.talcott@aston.ac.uk). Deadline for submissions is 21st March 2008. Authors should provide information in the email's subject heading that identifies the category of the entry ('making links'; 'multilingualism' or 'open') and the presenting author's name. The same information should appear in the filename of the attached poster. Posters may be submitted for consideration in one category only.

The prize winners will be notified prior to the conference. Awards will be presented at the conference on 29th March at 3.30pm in the main lecture theatre, directly after the keynote address.
