The Student Posters program offers a unique opportunity for students to
present their work at CHI 2002 and
to receive encouragement in their development as HCI professionals. Student posters will be displayed during the conference and provide an excellent opportunity to discuss late-breaking and on-going work in an informal setting. A two-page summary of each accepted poster will appear in the CHI 2002 Extended Abstracts. Student Poster submissions must be authored exclusively by one or more students. Submissions should focus on work that has produced new or exciting ideas or findings.
Review Criteria
Submissions will be reviewed by a panel of experts in the field. The confidentiality of your submission will be maintained throughout the review process. Review criteria include: contribution of the work to the CHI community, validity of the results, originality of the work, clarity of presentation, and interest value. Summaries of wider findings or reduced versions of longer papers are not suitable for the Student Posters submission category.

Format
Prepare a two-page, camera-ready extended abstract in the CHI Conference Publications Format. Include title, author information, abstract, keywords, body, and references. Student Poster submissions should be submitted electronically for reviewing.
Also prepare a one-page diagram showing the proposed layout of the poster presentation. The diagram should outline the graphical elements of the poster; the full text is not needed, but a short description of the textual contents should be given. The poster diagram will not be included in the proceedings but will help the program committee in the selection process. You will not be able to capture every detail of the paper on your poster, so identify the key points and build the layout around them. For the conference you need to bring the final poster. Be sure to consult the Poster Preparation Guidelines before preparing your poster.
