Sir Howard Dalton Young Microbiologist of the Year Competition

• Are you an SGM Member?
• Are you a postgrad or postdoc who has gained their PhD in the last two years?
• Are you presenting a poster or offered paper at an SGM meeting?

If so, you can enter your presentation for a communication prize competition which takes place at the SGM autumn meeting. Finalists in the competition make short oral presentations and the judges award cash prizes to the three best entries. All finalists receive a year's free Society membership. Their expenses for travel and one night's overnight accommodation at the meeting are met.

Selection for a place in the finals is through the sessions at the Spring meeting or at an Irish Division meeting, so you must submit your abstract for consideration by the appropriate one. Information on future meetings programmes is available in Microbiology Today or on the website.

You must be a Society member, a postgraduate student or a postdoc within two years of gaining your PhD. In the case of a multi-author paper you must have contributed 60% or more of the experimental work and been primarily responsible for the preparation and presentation of the poster/paper.

TO ENTER ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS TICK THE BOX ON THE ABSTRACTS SUBMISSION FORM ON THE SGM WEBSITE.

You will subsequently be informed when the judging session for the first round of the competition will be taking place.
