Daytona Beach Best Poster and Paper Awards

ECD selects Daytona Beach Best Papers and Best Posters each year from the papers and posters that are presented at the annual Daytona Beach Conference.

The Daytona Beach Best Paper Awards will be selected from the papers that are presented at the Conference and submitted in written paper format for the Conference proceeding publications, and that are recommended or nominated for Best Paper award consideration by one of the Conference paper technical reviewers or an ECD member. Invited papers are not eligible for awards.

The Best Paper Award Selection Committee will consist of ECD Program Chair, ECD Vice Program Chair (Chair-Elect), Proceedings Editor and Co-Editor, and ECD Awards Committee Chair. Additional Award Selection Committee members may include the ECD awards committee members, and/or other technical reviewers.

The Best Paper Selection Committee will evaluate the recommended and/or nominated candidate papers using the criteria of “Originality,” “Quality and Thoroughness of Methods, Tests and Applications,” “Style,” “Technical/Scientific Strength,” and “Impact to the Ceramics Community” to select the Best Papers.

The Daytona Beach Best Poster Awards will be selected from the posters that are presented at the Daytona Beach Conference during the specified poster presentation period when the poster evaluation is performed.

The Best Poster Award selection committee will consist of ECD Awards Committee Chair, and the Award Committee Members. Additional Award Selection Committee members may include ECD Program Chair and other technical reviewers.

The Best Poster Selection Committee will evaluate all eligible posters using the criteria of “Quality of Presentation,” “Quality and Thoroughness of Methods, Tests and Applications,” “Technical/Scientific Strength,” and “Impact to the Ceramics Community” to select the Best Posters.
