The Botanical Society of America is pleased
to open the Conant “Botanical Images” Student Travel Awards for
2009. There are three awards available to undergraduate and graduate
students who are registered for, and attend, the Botany & Mycology 2009 Conference
to be held in Snowbird, Utah, July 25 - 29. Awards
will be given for the top three botanical images ($500, $250 and
$150) as judged by the 2009 Conant Image Panel. Although the presentation
of a paper/poster at Botany & Mcology 2009 is not a requirement, students
who are presenting will be given the highest priority. View
2006, 2007 and 2008 submissions. Images and associated metadata
must be provided by 1 APRIL 2009.
