We are pleased to announce that a cash prize will be awarded to the best student presentation in the LASE conference on Frontiers in Ultrafast Optics (both poster and oral papers considered).

Papers submitted and presented in person by graduate and undergraduate students are eligible. For the competition, students will present a brief 4-minute summary with a few slides of their original talk or poster during this in-person session, and participate in a live Q&A.

4-MINUTE SUMMARY FOR COMPETITION
Your slides should entail all elements of a regular talk or poster, condensed into a 4-minute summary:

• A brief introduction and motivation for the work in the context of existing knowledge;
• A summary of the key research activities and observations would be the main body of the presentation;
• Do not try to cover everything; highlight the most significant factors in your methodology and analysis on which conclusions were drawn;
• The presentation should offer a clear interpretation of data that builds to a clear and final conclusion, telling us clearly what was learned and why the results are new and significant.

In order to ensure a fair evaluation, the conference chairs and the program committee will judge the students during this student competition session.

Following the student competition, the judges will meet and decide on the winner. The winner and runner-ups will be announced during the award ceremony and cash prizes will be sent to the winner and runner-ups after the event.
