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.
1st Prize - $500.00
2nd Prize - $300.00

Students interested in participating in the competition are required
to complete and submit a Student

rules and eligibility are as follows:
Eligibility
The competition is directed at students currently enrolled at
a college or university that are conducting research on horticulture
crops or related production / marketing practices relevant to
Ontario. 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
Organization - 10 points
Visual Impact - 20 points
Grower Friendly - 20 points
Poster Dimensions, Delivery and Pick-Up
Posters should approximately be 120 cm x 90 cm (48” x 36”)

responsible for printing, delivery and pick-up. Posters should
arrive at Brock University, St. Catharines, ON no later than
8h00 on February 24th. Posters can be sent in advance to either
of the OFVC Poster Chairs. Posters must be collected by the authors
by 16h00 on February 25th. The OFVC is not responsible for any
posters not picked up by the author.
