Poster Prize Winners

The ACA is proud to acknowledge outstanding poster presentations from students and young scientists who attend the annual meeting.  The ACA supports a number of individual poster prizes as well as partnering with crystallographic businesses to sponsor additional prizes.  Good work and congratulations to all!  

For attendees, to view the abstract, please click on the title and search for that specific poster number referenced - the link will not take you directly to the poster. 

The ACA considers reuse of poster material (including any form of transmission/upload/or otherwise making available a poster) without the explicit consent of the copyright holder to be unethical, and possibly illegal, but distribution of material may still have implications for intellectual property and publication.  An image of the poster is listed for convenience, however the author is the copyright holder of the work presented on the poster and if you would like to reference, cite and/or request more information, please contact the author directly. 

A complete list of poster prize winners will be archived and posted on this page soon!
