The New York Flora Association is pleased to announce the Northeast Natural History Conference 2012 Botany Awards. Awards will be given in three distinct categories: best botany-related poster presentation, best student botany-related oral presentation, and best overall botany-related oral presentation. A prize of $150 will be given to the winner in each category. Presentations will be judged for significance of ideas, creativity, quality of methodology, validity of conclusions drawn from results, and clarity of presentation.
A member of the NYFA Awards team will be present for each botanically oriented oral presentation and the team will visit and evaluate all botanical poster presentations. Awards will be presented at the closing dinner scheduled for 6:00 pm on Wednesday, April 18. For more information on the Conference, please visit the Northeast Natural History website. The NYFA awards are announced under special events on the NENHC website.
