How to optimize the chance to win a poster prize:
Start with your abstract. A well written abstract has a favour.
To decide who presents the best poster the committee looks at :
1) General impression of poster and presentation
What is your own experience of posters? How much time do you have to spend
at a poster?
Usually you can expect that you would like to spend at the most 15 seconds
at the poster to get the main content. If this is interesting you stop for
a while!
Therefore avoid too condensed and too extensive text.
2) The aim should be clearly stated - primary eventual secondary
