EME Student Poster Contest Submission Form | Penn State Department of Energy and Mineral Engineering

Use this form to register and submit your poster file and a link to your poster talk video for the EME Student Poster Competition on Thursday, October 29, 2026.

The submission deadline is noon on Friday, October 16.

Poster talks will be submitted as a video along with your poster file, not performed live on the day of the Poster Exhibition. Competition judging will be done using the videos/poster files prior to the live event. The poster exhibition will be a reception where we will display your printed posters and have you available to discuss your work with attendees. Contest winners will be announced at the reception.

Guidelines

You must use an EME Poster Template layout for your poster. Download the PowerPoint template.
Limit the Introduction/Abstract to 75-100 words. It should not dominate your poster.
Proofread and edit your poster carefully.
Use Zoom to record your poster talk. Share your screen of the poster file while you record the video of you speaking in the upper right-hand corner of the screen.
Talks can be no longer than 5 minutes. Time yourself and practice before making your final recording.
