The Canadian Association of Road Safety Professionals (CARSP) Young Professionals’ Committee is hosting and sponsoring a student poster competition. Students and postdoctoral fellows are invited to submit poster abstracts online for a chance to display a poster at the CARSP/PRI 2021 Virtual Conference. Posters can be on any road safety topic. Applicants 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
  • $350 for second place
  • $150 for third place

Plus, ALL students whose poster abstracts are accepted will also receive complimentary registration to the CARSP/PRI 2021 Conference!

Abstracts for posters must be no longer than 1000 words and must include the following author/contact information and study information:
