All eligible e-Poster submissions will be assessed on the content, clarity of communication, and the quality of the visual display of information on the poster.

The Judging panel will be asked to score against the following rubric, with a maximum of 5 points per criteria for a total score out of 20.

• Does the e-Poster clearly communicate its intended message?
• Does the poster clearly describe the research strategy, design, and results/findings of the research?
• Is the presentation accessible to a cross-disciplinary audience?
• Was the poster visually appealing and interesting to look at?

All eligible posters will also be entered into the People’s Choice competition, with each poster given a unique identifier for voting.

The public and Ramsay Health Care staff are invited to vote for their favourite e-Poster. Please follow this link to vote: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/eposterpeopleschoice

Only one vote per person will be allowed. Vote tampering or ‘gaming the system’ will deem all votes invalid. We will be using algorithms to examine each vote to ensure there is no cheating for maximum fairness.

Voting will be open between Thursday 21 September and close at 5pm AEST on 27 September 2023 via www.ramsayhealth.com.au/Ramsay-Research
