Creative Canvas Awards
The MAS Creative Canvas awards are presented to technologists and postdoctoral fellows for high quality posters at the annual M&M conference, as judged during the conference by the MAS Awards Committee and Council members. Posters criteria include both scientific content and visual design. Candidates wishing to be considered for a Creative Canvas award must select their eligibility during submission of their conference abstracts. Winners will be provided with a monetary award to offset the cost of their meeting registration.
