Student Poster Competition
The Canadian Association of Road Safety Professionals (CARSP) Young Professionals’ Committee is hosting and sponsoring a student poster competition. Students are invited to submit poster abstracts online for a chance to display a poster at the 2024 CARSP Conference. Posters can be on any road safety topic. We are accepting both English and French Submissions. Applicants, including post-docs, must be registered at a Canadian university or college. Authors of the top three posters will receive the following cash awards:
- $500 for first place

Authors are required to present their posters in person at the conference to receive their award. Plus, the top 3 poster abstracts with the highest scores will also receive complimentary day registration (reimbursed after the conference).
