No. 3, 2006National TB Controllers’ Association Poster ContestThe first NTCA poster contest was held at this year’s annual meeting. A panel of judges reviewed and rated all 59 posters based on relevance to TB control or TB elimination; clarity of information; and graphic/visual presentation.
The second-place award went to the poster entitled “Factors to Promote Screening for LTBI in Primary Care.” The authors were J.C. Jackson, J.W.Y. Pang, S. Bryant, and N. DeLuca. The third place award went to the poster entitled “Key Findings from the Regional Training and Medical Consultation Centers' TB Education and Training Needs Assessments.” The authors were A. Khan, N. DeLuca, D. Ruggerio, R. Bhavaraju, C. Hayden, L. Lam, S. Meyers, K. Simpson, and A. Williamson. One of the judges noted that what made these posters stand out from all the others were the relevant topics for all TB programs, as well as the use of clear, concise bullets instead of long passages of text. Other award-winning characteristics included a variety of graphic images such as graphs, charts, and photographs that were clear and concise, and the use of “white space” in the poster. The “white space” was beneficial in making the posters appealing to the eye, as well as easy to read. Thank you to all the submitters for the research and hard work your posters represented, and congratulations to all the winners! —Wanda Walton, PhD
