Our Jerome H. Remick III Poster Competition took place at GeoConvention 2020. We had a very large number of student posters this year and needed a record 13 judges from 12 different institutions from all over Canada to take part in the judging. The posters represented a huge variety of subjects, and as always it was wonderful to see the high-quality student work being done everywhere. Since we had participants from so many different societies we wanted to reflect the breadth of participation in the poster presentations, therefore, we are awarding eight Honourable Mention awards along with the first three prizes instead of our usual five.
Congratulations to all our award winners and all the students who presented at GeoConvention 2020!
