Why serve as a poster competition judge for an ECS biannual meeting? And what can student poster presenters learn from the judges’ perspectives? We posed these questions to several judges of the Z01 General Student Poster Competition judges to gain insight into why volunteering as a judge is a rewarding experience and what makes a standout poster.

Its goals are to foster and promote work in electrochemical and solid state science and technology while encouraging active student interest and participation in the Society. Any student who enters a poster is eligible to compete for one of three awards (provided they meet a few submission requirements).
