Posters prize competition NOTUR 2005

There were three posters competing for the Ph.D. prize and six for the Master prize. Three following criteria were used to pick the winners.

1) The scientific content should be significant and sound.
2) The presentation should be logical with clearly stated questions and answers.
3) The use of graphics should be delicate and supporting the scientific message.
4) The poster presenters should be available and be helpful/enthusiastic.

There was several posters fulfilling the criteria above, and despite the rather low number of contributions, the jury was able to pick two very worthy winners keeping a total standard somewhat above the rest.

And the winners are:
