Please identify your submission with the subject line: “ECA Graduate Poster Submission”

Submission Format: Please submit two WORD documents. The first document should include the title of the poster and the author’s institutional affiliation, mailing address, telephone number, and email address. The second document should only have the title of the poster on the first page (a running head can also be included), an abstract and a brief description of the research to be presented. No author identifying information should be included on the second document.

The theme of the convention is Freedom To…Freedom From… Poster sessions allow for graduate students to have a full professional audience for their research ideas, which then can receive significant feedback for moving ahead with projects and ideas. If you have never presented at an academic conference, poster sessions are a comfortable foray into the academic community. Papers for the competitive graduate poster session will be accepted from every sub-discipline in the field of communication. 

Competitive poster presentations involve an author or authors standing next to a physical poster that visually explains the crux of the paper, research, or project. Convention participants, including judges, view the posters and talk to the authors about their studies. We strongly encourage all accepted presenters to provide a single or half sheet handout for audiences.
