AATCC announces the 2021 Herman and Myrtle Goldstein Graduate Student Paper Competition
The competition is limited to graduate students only.
The papers will undergo a prescreening process and a maximum of four papers will be selected to move forward in the competition. A panel of judges will determine the top four papers, from those attaining a minimum score of 60% on the written paper.
The four graduate students selected to compete in the competition will have 15 minutes to present their paper on-site at the International Conference April 13-15, 2021 at the Hilton University Place in Charlotte, NC, USA. Oral presentations must only include material covered in the written manuscript, not any post work. If the oral presentation includes any work not included in the submitted written paper, it will constitute disqualification from the competition.
The competition is open to all GRADUATE student members of AATCC. Nonmember graduate students must join AATCC in order to compete.
Entry forms are due October 5, 2020 and the deadline for the final papers is December 11, 2020. Complete competition details (including entry form and guidelines) can be found on AATCC’s website.
