The Jerome H. Remick III Poster Awards
Cash awards and certificates of merit are presented at each annual meeting to outstanding poster presenters. The Jerome H. Remick III Trust fund of the Geological Association of Canada (GAC®) was established in 1994 with monies donated by Jerome H. Remick III, a long-time member and former Chairman of the GAC® Membership Committee. The express purpose of the fund is to sponsor Poster Awards for meritorious posters at the GAC®-MAC Annual Meetings and possible other venues approved by GAC® Council. ( Mr. Remick passed away on March 1, 2005. Click here for tribute. )
The purpose of the Remick Poster Awards is to acknowledge the growing use of posters as a legitimate geoscience communication vehicle, and to encourage higher standards by recognizing the best posters at any given meeting. The specific guidelines for making the poster awards will be the purview of the GAC® Program Committee, and these will be periodically reviewed and updated as necessary to reflect evolving presentation techniques.
The current prize value for the awards is:
Gold - $1000, Silver - $900, Bronze - $800.
