Once again, the Ontario Fruit and Vegetable Convention (OFVC) will feature a poster session on February 24th & 25th, 2010, at Brock University in St. Catharines, ON.

The goal is to highlight research on fruit, vegetables and alternative crops in Ontario. Posters will be displayed in the main hallway / foyer for both days of the convention, allowing growers and members of ag-industry to see the excellent work that you do in support of the commodities that they grow!

The OFVC Poster Session is an effective venue for researchers, industry and extension specialists to present new information pertinent to Ontario’s horticultural industry. Posters that present results from research trials, including pest management, crop production, new cultivars, and opportunities for marketing Ontario horticulture are welcomed. Keep in mind that the audience is predominantly comprised of growers and consultants. Avoid technical language or jargon so that everyone can make the most of the information. Both student and regular submissions are welcome in this category.

2010 Student Poster Competition

The long-standing Student Poster Competition will once again feature university and college student research conducted in the field of horticulture. The event offers students an opportunity to showcase their work to their target audience, compete for cash awards and to publish their posters in the OFVC Convention Proceedings CD.

The research must be novel and the student must have performed the majority of the work. Students are not required to stand with the posters during judging.

Poster Format and Judging Criteria

While there is no formal format for posters, students are encouraged to describe the problem being addressed or technology being evaluated, what was done to solve the problem or with the technology during the evaluation, what happened (results) during the evaluation and a discussion on the importance of this work to the Horticulture industry.

Posters will be judged by an impartial panel including at least one research scientist, one OMAFRA extension worker and a representative from the horticulture industry. Judges will rank the posters based on the following criteria:

Introduction - 10 points
Body of Presentation - 10 points
Summary / Conclusions - 20 points
Research - 10 points
