A cash prize of $100 is associated with each award and competitions are open to all students across the University.

NBIC Multimedia Award–Each year, a multimedia presentation on nanoscale research and applications of nanotechnology is exhibited during the NanoDay @ Penn events. Award winners will have their imagery displayed at this presentation. The award has two categories, (1) aesthetic and (2) scientific. Entries are judged on creative aesthetic implementation, effective educational approach, and/or significant research results.

NBIC Exhibit/Demo Award–The 1st floor of the Towne Building is filled with exhibit-like presentations and demonstrations of nanoscale phenomena or technologies during NanoDay @ Penn events. NBIC research groups and others are encouraged to create an exhibit about their research. This award will go to the most interesting and descriptive exhibit/demonstration that explains nanoscale phenomena or applications to a general audience.

NBIC Research Poster Award–Graduate students have the opportunity to present their latest research results at a poster session during NanoDay @ Penn. An award will be presented to the poster showing innovative research, a well-designed experimental approach, validity of conclusions, impact of results, or the technical aspects of the presentation. The poster session is at 2 p.m. on October 24.
