Please refer here for advice on making your poster board for the regional finalist round and beyond. Additional advice and actual posters from the past can be found here. The project board only serves as a preview to the presentation. At the regional finalist round, the project boards are put on display for the public the day before the presentations. The board is meant to provide a general understanding of the project and should act as a teaser to the presentation. Many professors and students from the university come to look at the boards. While the project board is not necessarily part of the judging, it should be taken seriously. Board displaying is the first time you will meet the judges and, as always, first impressions should be your best (especially with the judges)!
