Yes. Step 2 of the abstract submission process will require you to select whether you are submitting your abstract as a poster or an oral presentation.

Students entering their abstract into the Student Award of Excellence Competition will submit their abstract into the Student Competition Category of their designated category. (Example: Student Competition: Animal Well-Being and Behavior). Students will then choose Apply for Student Certificate of Excellence under the Awards section. If a student selects Decline, they will not be in the competition.

Please note that while students are welcome to submit multiple abstracts, only one abstract may be entered in the competition.

All authors are expected to attend the 2024 PSA Annual Meeting. Please see the No Show Policy above for additional details.

All presenters who attend and present their abstract at the 2024 PSA Annual Meeting in Louisville, KY will have their abstract published in an e-suppliment to Poultry Science® in September 2024. Authors who do not present are considered no-shows and will not have their abstracts published. No-shows can also impact a presenter's eligibility to submit abstracts for consideration at future meetings.
