iupac POSTER PRIZES    
 
The IUPAC Poster Prize Program was established in 2004 to recognize outstanding undergraduate poster presentations at IUPAC Congresses and division-sponsored conferences.  Awardee winners receive a certificate signed by the IUPAC President, a copy of the Compendium of Chemical Terminology, and a two-year subscription to Chemistry International.

IUPAC Poster Prizes are presented to recipients by members of the USNC/IUPAC during the spring or fall American Chemical Society Meetings.   Information regarding the 2009 IUPAC Prize competition will be announced in June 2009.
