To encourage the presentation of scientific work in poster form at CAC seminars, on January 13, 2014, the CAC Board of Directors and the Awards Committee created a the "Best Poster Award." The winner of this award is chosen by the same three-member panel of judges that is responsible for choosing the Alfred A. Biasotti Most Outstanding Presentation Award. These judges are given evaluation sheets by the Awards Committee at the start of each seminar and will utilize theses sheets to make their selection. Then, the sheets from all three judges are returned to the Awards Committee and the scores tabulated to determine the overall winner of the Best Poster Award.

The award consists of a credit to the winner's online CAC account in the amount of $50. This credit can be used toward payment of membership dues, journal orders, seminar registration, study group luncheons, etc. The award will be credited to the winner's account as soon as the Board is informed of the winner's name.
