The University of the Balearic Islands and the University of Oviedo are hosting the I Inter-University Poster Competition for English Studies. The goal of this competition is to introduce undergraduate students to American culture and Cultural Studies by sharing their research with other Spanish students and a wider audience.
UIB and Uniovi students (English Studies) are invited to enter the competition and are encouraged to present a comprehensive poster on any aspect of American culture(s) on completed research.
This is a unique opportunity to engage in an innovative cooperation project among "English studies" and their students. Prizes will be awarded to the best posters.
WHAT IS A POSTER?
Posters are a special type of presentation that is now widely used in academic contexts to present project results. Posters, when effectively designed, offer a concise way to get information across, obtain immediate feedback and generate discussion. See Video 1 – Introduction to PowerPoint for Posters.
The success of a poster mostly depends on our planning and content selection, organization skills, and our ability to reach a balance between text and graphics. In posters information should be conveyed as boldly and explicitly as possible in order to capture the audience’s attention and give the presenter the opportunity to explain the relevance of his/her work and the consequence of its results.
Formats and styles differ, but our main goal when making a poster is to convey a clear message and support it with a compelling combination of images and blocks of text that include an introduction, your thesis, and the major conclusions of our work.
